Conversations of Randomness

I was walking to the Pacific Asian market with my two favorite housemates, Z and L, yesterday evening. About half way there we passed these two guys putting appliances in the back of a truck. One was in his fourties, the other in his late twenties it seemed. I looked, noticed, and didn't pay much heed. I was far too excited to be going to the market--odd as it may seem.

On the way back, hands leaden with food for dinner, we pass the same two men again.

"Nice hat," the younger, more attractive of the two says, smiling. I had to take notice that time. He was mighty attractive.

"Nice tats," I replied with a like smile, referring to the tattoos running up his strong, tan arms.

............And then I tripped. So much for that....
