Best Thing I've Overheard All Year So Far

Might as well post this little story on my most neglected blog. Here goes:

The young man was standing on the sidewalk on Waukazoo Street, not far from my bookshop door. He was talking on his cell phone. As people do when talking on their cell phones, he was speaking loudly enough that his voice carried across the street (I had crossed on my way to Tom's Market), and I could hear every word he was saying:

"Get this! You won't believe it! Lake Michigan is so big you can't see the other side!"

This made me so very happy, a big grin broke out on my face, and I was still smiling in the aisles of the grocery store.
