on Saying Hi
“I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, ‘Hi.’ They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word.” — Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors, quoted on a Starbucks cup.

Good point. The weather there is horrible. The wedding is off, Dan! I’m sure your wife is glad to hear that.
