John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Conversation with a friend about assumptions

Friend: Hey John. I saw you walking downtown last week but didn’t say hi because you looked busy and I didn’t want to bother you.

Me: Oh, funny.

Always say hi.

That was just my “Downtown look.”

I try to walk fast and furrow my eyebrows and look like I am concentrating on something complicated so other people won’t realize I am just trying to remember where I parked my car.
