Aaron Karo and my Rumination of the Morning

Sara Maaske (AKA "Drunk Sara") was nice enough to send me some daytime reading in the form of Aaron Karo. Aaron Karo started writing about his thoughts and experiences back in 1997 as a freshman at Penn and has been sending them out to people ever since. After reading his work, he reminds me a lot of things that have been said/done in our group of friends. Check him out: AaronKaro.Com

Reading Karo got me thinking this morning on my walk. I have been taking a different route to work this week and the past three mornings I have walked by a "Little Person". Without fail, I first smile, because he's just a little guy, and I spend the next five minutes wondering how he shops and where he finds his little outfits.

The reason that I only spend five minutes thinking about that is after five minutes I am at the ferry stop and I then have to figure out how long it is going to take for the ferry to get to the stop and whether I am going to take the ferry to and from work or if I am walking home and then figure out what the coins in my pocket are actually work. It's a pretty intense time in my morning. For those of you wondering, the coins over here are in the following values:

Cents:
1,5,10,20,50 (Each are a different size and the 50c is HUGE and has a bunch of straight sides)
Dollars:
1,2 (the two dollar is smaller than the one, again, throws me off)
