An Exchange.
May 8th, 2007
“You know that tea’ll kill you,” Dan says, stirring his coffee.
“Everything will kill you, eventually,” I reply, smiling.
“Ain’t that the truth?”
“I figure, you might as well enjoy life while you can – ” I say.
“– because life’s so short,” he agrees. “You don’t know that yet, but – ”
“Oh, I figure it’ll be too short sometimes …”
“Uh-huh; have a good one!” he says, walking away.
“… and too long other days.” Then back to the office, to stare out the window at this beautiful rain today. Sigh. Well, down to work.
