Something's better than nothing

Yesterday I was diligently laboring away on a tattoo design for a friend (a favor), when a certain 8 year-old, of whom I'm exceedingly fond (we'll call her Ramone), asked if I'd gone for a jog. I had not, nor had I been for a jog in just over a week. She was interested in accompanying me, and I was more than happy to step away from the drawing board. I didn't have much time, as I was supposed to have band practice later on, and there was still much to be done on the tattoo design), and Ramone was low on long-term energy, so it worked out. We popped in on our buddy Alice and zipped back just in time to miss the rain. I'm looking forward to more of these.
