So happy we could share this, mom

Today, I saw a mother and her young daughter zooming down a hill together on a razor scooter. And, when I say hill, I mean a slightly slanted block in New York City. I assumed that this was just a short stint for two, and that the mom would hop off at the bottom of the 'hill' and walk beside her daughter as she scooted. But...No. Instead, they turned the corner and continued scooting together on flat ground for multiple busy, city blocks. Awkward.

Hawaiian barbells

Today, I noticed something peculiar while walking past the gym near my apartment. The gym has a lobby area with a few tables. In the front corner, sat a man. In the chair across the table from him were two pineapples. No bag. Just two whole, uncut, pineapples - standing upright on the chair. I can't think of a single scenario where it makes sense to bring pineapples to the gym. Not one.

The moving picture show

Met a nice middle-aged man name Larry over the weekend. He was bragging about how he had seen the original Star Wars movies multiple times in theaters. He told me about how he loved the first one so much that, when he went to go see it for the fourth time, he brought his camera to take pictures of the movie. Yes....Larry brought his regular camera and captured the Star Wars film in photographs. For real.  I had to leave the room when I heard this. It was too funny for me to continue sitting next to him.
