Last Friday was my last day of working in the City. I've accepted a job much closer to home and, though I'll miss much of the what working in the City is all about, I certainly won't miss the commute.
For the past year or so, I passed this man while walking from BART to my office. Eventually he learned my name and we'd greet each other in passing... have you ever seen that Looney Tunes cartoon with the wolf and sheepdog?
When I decided to resign, I felt obligated to tell him that I wouldn't be seeing him anymore. I think that these are the little routines that we all tend to miss when we decide to make a change in our lives. Whether it's the regular greeting of a homeless guy on the street or the Starbucks barrista who remembers your order.
So when, on my last day, while walking to BART for the last time I saw him, I had to take a picture. I didn't have my camera with me and had to use the one on my phone.
