I forgot to mention something that happened to me the other day.

When I was catching the Clipper back to Seattle it was sold out, luckily I got on through standby, but there wasn't much seating.

I ended up sitting next to this family, (many of the individual seats are arranged around tables) who had two little girls.. like probably 4 years old or something. They were very rambunctious, and white blonde girl and I were exchanging smiles for the whole boat ride.

Then towards the end of the trip, see looked right into my eyes, and her eyes got kind of this nostalgic misty look to them, and she looked right at me saying to no one in particular "He's such a great guy."

That pretty much made the trip worth it.

Cut to last night.. I'm waiting for the bus listening to Abbatoir Blues by Nick Cave and this guy comes up to me, gesturing. I can't tell what he's saying so I take off my headphones.

- "Hey there, it's good to see a guy like you."

- "Thanks."

*we shake hands*

- "You shook, me hand (slurred), I can see you're know what it's about."

- "I do"

*he pulls out a Budweiser from his pocket*

- "I bet you've never met a guy like me before.."

- "Nope."

- "..because I'm not Michael Jackson or Neil Diamond.. I'm Emile Sagnier man.. Emile Sagnier!"

*pats me on the back*

- "Nice talking to yoooo. Not enough guys like ya."
