So, I posted a story of an experience I had at the gas station on Tuesday morning. For the sake of brevity, the story is this: I went in to get coffee, and on my way out, a man who I am presuming is homeless offered me some of his Red Bull, a piece of [...]
There are some moments that change your game, your view, your life. They start out normally, but well, they never quite end that way, do they? This is one of mine.
