It's nice to get to talk to folks in my industry. When I try to tell Amy what I do she nods and says, "Uh huh." My mom says, "Sure..." Clara rolls her eyes. Most of my hiking friends are nerds, but most of them are lost when I'm separating each word by a couple heavy breaths. For 45 minutes I had the rapt attention of... well, not throngs, but a decent audience for 8:30 in the morning.
