How to get it back

Sightings
- The modern woman: Guy opens taxi door for girl. The girl smiles evilly, walks away and enters the cab through the opposite door. The guy looks embarrassed and pretends he had opened the door for himself. I have a heated discussion with Han and Mel about when exactly doors should be opened. Conclusion is, no one gives a damn.
- 3 OGs wandering around P.S.. I couldn't help but be sentimental. I spy on them and try to guess which JC they hail from by the uniform count. I will not forget the wildness and joy/fear of a new experience as vast as that one. I felt like giving them a hug, saying, "Hold it in your hand, tightly," but what would I do? In my mind the balance rests somewhere in between.
