Impulse

I spent the afternoon checking out art galleries & taking pictures downtown. On the bus ride home, an older gentleman politely asked if he could sit next to me. I let him and we got to talking, comparing Seattle to New York City (he was in town visiting his daughter). Turns out, he was the guy who auditioned Tony Bennett and produced his first few albums! How cool is that?!?

This is why it’s much more interesting to ride the bus than to drive. Cool, random stuff happens like meeting Tony Bennett’s producer, or that time when the bus driver lead everyone in the bus to sing along to “The Metro Bus” (set to the Brady Bunch theme. ‘cmon, sing along: “The Metro Bus. The Metro Bus. That’s the way, we all rode the Metro Bus”). You just don’t get that sort of thing in your car…
