Experience

Tonight I did something I've been wanted to do for awhile now.

I surprised the shit out of a random stranger by paying for their groceries.

A guy behind me in line was buying a Halloween costume for his nephew, and some odds and ends, and had left his wallet at home. I asked how much the costume was ($30), and threw forty bucks down in front of him.

"Here," I said.

"Thank you very much," he said.

"Merry Christmas. Or I guess it's Thanksgiving."

Probably would have worked better had I been in a cheerier mood, but I was in some pain tonight.

At least there's one more experience I've had.
