I could get used to this attention

When you're lame people from all around come out to help. It's so reassuring. My neighbor Jerry opened a jar for me; my friend Karla took my laundry to my laundry-lady; Nadia, at the Marine Market, tied my shoe; and the lovely guys at Flake, my fave morning hang, made sure I was comfortable, even signing my receipts for me. And cheerful Nick wrote me a helpful note. So thoughtful.

And a sweet student of mine ended class with this simple, get-well recipe. Very nice.
