damage done

as soon as i finish writing the note, lindsay calls. asks if i want to meet her and her friend, peter at this coffee shop - blue moon, in minneapolis. get directions. tell her i'll be there shortly. excited now about meeting lindsay - haven't met anyone who knows me, or my friends, in a long time. right, 25 days now to be exact. think it'll be good for me.

finish my coffee. gather my things. walk over to amanda on my way out; note in hand. she's behind the counter, back turned to me. "hey amanda?" she doesn't hear me. "amanda?" she turns around. "hey." "hello, this is for you." i give her the note. "check it out sometime when you get the chance." "what is it?" she starts reading. "it's a website i'm working on. i think you'll appreciate it." "oh, thank you so much! i will." she gives me a really big smile. i can feel my heart melting. i give a shy smile back as i exit - stage left. actually, stage right. get in the car and drive off to minneapolis; inspired and reinvigorated having found a purpose for coming here.

it really is amazing how things work out. i hope that amanda is somehow also inspired, or at least entertained, by what i've done and am doing. and hopefully, she won't be offended by all the talk of her T & A.
