December 16th

We had the first snow of winter today and leaving work early I saw a guy on the side of the road holding a sign saying Centreville, $20. His car had broken down and he wanted a ride. I ignored the niggling feeling that this could lead to danger and pulled over. He turned out to be very friendly and grateful for the ride especially as I refused his $20. Having done my good deed for the day which was later followed by a steaming mug of hot chocolate laced with Jamesons and accompanied by truffles made a perfect ending to my day.
