Some good things


Today at the gym, I was trying to get a copy of a couple months of my membership receipts to get a gym credit refund from my job, and the woman helping me was being pretty surly about it. Halfway through, she asked for me to spell my name again, paused, and then gasped, "Wait. I know you. We were in the second sweat together. You're a beluga." Then her whole manner changed. She said, "You're family!" and came around to my side of the counter and gave me a giant hug. It made me grateful for my strange little community here in this good town. As I was leaving, she yelled "Aho!" to me.

As we were packing up, Josh was messing around and teasing me about something, tickling me, and though he must have known we were joking, Sven lay his whole body overtop of mine until he stopped. He's a good dog.
