A small moment in the night.

It's weird.

If I look for "dapper homeless" I get George Clooney for dapper, and a classic Bowery Skid Road type. I guess they're both rather loveable.

Last night about 9:00 pm I was in my car, pulling away from the curb, when there was a loud rap on my passenger side window.

I jumped a foot. Some homeless guy, looking more more like a college student than a stereotype, wanted to talk. I rolled the window down, wondering if I was going to get panhandled, or hear some complaint.

"Hey," he said, "I just want to thank you guys for all the socks. Everybody loves it. I thought you should know."

What happened the rest of the night didn't really matter so much.

Sometimes the aggravations are worth it. Yep.
