I don't own an umbrella. When I was a self-righteous teenager I would leave the house during a down pour and my mother would call after me, "Take an umbrella!" and I'd shout back, "I'm not going to melt, Mother!"

I still don't opt for the umbrella, but I think I've grown in that if a nice person offers me a space under theirs, and they seem genuinely concerned for my health, I just say "OK" and "thank you" and pop my head next to theirs. It seems like the nice thing to do, right?

people who read; people who will go dancing or play frisbee with me; that guy I sat at a camp fire with in East Glacier, MT who played the melody to Blue Moon on a ukelele, using the moon stone on my ring as a slide.
