Joe
Last night I went to get my taxes done on campus. Apparently my taxes are hard to do, so I got a little special treatment. I got to spend about 2 hours with a guy named Joe who was doing taxes for free in the evenings because of a class he was taking. Joe and I became pretty close over those 2 hours– sitting in a cubical and waiting for someone else to come in and help at different points brings people close together.
We talked about the military, politics, hometowns, spring break plans, ethics of those who work at places like H & R Block, AIDS, Africa, civil war in the Sudan, etc. It was probably the most fun I’ve had in a while. And I think they were pretty amazed that I didn’t get all testy because I was waiting there for so long.
I hope I run into Joe again.

You have had great opportunities with people this week. I guess all it takes is eyes to see and a step outside
