Someone I knew was having a bonfire out on ocean beach, so I went. (Someone was Mojito from GNE, if that means anything to you). I brought salsa and chips.

I met a woman who works with disabled adults (who are themselves working) at the US Mint. The US Mint turns out to be located in the same building as the Safeway where I sometimes reluctantly shop.

Also met a woman who majored in math, did a year-long foreign study program in Japan during college, then went back to Japan to teach English for a year after graduating; now her job is with a non-profit organization that sends her to various elementary schools where she teaches algebra and calculus (summations, at least: 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 = ?) to fifth and sixth graders.

We were by the ocean and it was like being children, sharing stories and laughing.
