Greet people by stating the obvious (ex: If you are delivering the newspapers one rainy Monday, Michael will inevitably say, "Delivering newspapers this morning?" To which you nod and smile and say, "Yes, it looks like I'm delivering the newspapers this morning!" Punctuate everything with an exclamation point--no matter how forced or trite. Or, as you're coming into the foyer dripping like a wet cat, Antoine will grin and say, "It's raining pretty...

Ticket stubs, shredded metro cards, pens with mismatched lids, torn sheets of mini notebook paper with illegible writing scrawled across it, extra hair ties, my license and bus fare, my course registration instructions printed on spring green paper with Kandula's story hastily penned on a corner, my phone, endless quantities of lip balm, and this poem which has moved me to tears on too many occasions and for that reason alone I love it dearly and fiercely: I Would Like to DescribeZbigniew HerbertI would like to describe the simplest emotionjoy...
