This never happened before...
I was riding my bicycle down the boulevard yesterday, returning home from walking a dog on the lakefront. Walking the dog. I do it often. It's my "bread and butter" thing.
A sleek, silver convertible pulls up to me on the street. Two friends, fans of my band, call out a friendly greeting. We both come to a stop on the street, cars motoring around us.
My friends explain that they bought tickets but unfortunately missed our big show earlier in the week; they are laughing and pointing to the CD player. The music blasting in their car at maximum volume is my band's latest recording.
All I can do is laugh. Surreal. Strange. Kind of amazing. What a life.
