ahh, traffic ...

traffic can be frustrating. but it's not always bad.

last night, i was headed home from my harp lesson a little after 9. needed to stop at the grocery store on the way, but otherwise, just enjoying being out in the evening. traffic was by no means heavy on the local streets, but when i got stuck behind a slow honda civic i started to get a little annoyed. as soon as i could, i sped out from behind him and got into the other lane. as i passed him, of course i looked over -- not to give him a stink eye or anything, just mostly out of curiosity. but i couldn't really see into the car. oh, well.

we came to a red light. he pulled up in the lane next to me and looked over. he smiled and waved. i smiled back. green light.

he pulled up next to me at the next red light, smiled and waved. i waved back. he said, "we're going to starbucks if you want to come." i smiled and said "i can't." the light turned green. he was still looking in my direction and said, "you have a beautiful smile." i said "thank you," (with a big smile) as i eased on the gas.
