I was reading the newspaper on the A train, as I do most mornings, when a man came through, asking people if they could spare fifty cents so he could get something to eat. For no obvious reason, I took out a five-dollar bill and a tangerine, then got his attention and handed him both. He thanked me, then continued to ask people for fifty cents.
A few stops later, on a more crowded train, a woman said "Excuse me" and asked where I'd gotten my "Re-elect President Gore" button. I explained that a friend had had some made, and offered it to her. She accepted, and pinned it onto her coat.
An hour later, a co-worker told me I looked like the cat who swallowed the canary.
