Hat Tip

Walking to the train today, a much older gentleman tipped his hat and smiled at me. It was the most adorable and endearing thing anyone has done towards/for me in ages. Such a simple gesture, so lost in the decades that have followed this man's first hat-tip, probably as a spry young thing a long time ago and done with some awkwardness...or maybe he was a natural from day one--a rico suave of his time--who tipped his hat at the ladies and they swooned. God knows, if I hadn't been running late and pissed that I had left my coffee on the counter I might have paused to swoon a bit myself. Who cares that he was probably in his mid-70's?

Regardless, it made my day.
Wanted to share.
