The Mind is a Funny Thing

Today at our class break, I noticed my classmate's beautiful flowing avocado green tie-dyed cotton dress. She is French Canadian, an intelligent twentysomething who would fit right into the Bay. "Hey, I like your dress," I said as we pass each other near the water fountain.

"You think I look stressed?" she responds, and then realizes what I said. She then laughs and admits that she is indeed stressed.

"The mind is a funny thing, isn't it?" I reply.

Today's toast goes to my friend Ted. You are my brother, with a heart the size of the 14 northern counties of California, including Yosemite, Humboldt, and Mendocino. May all your wildest fucking dreams come true.
