25. One of the coolest things I've ever chanced upon

Apr 2021

I was just getting out of my car on a little Seattle Capitol Hill side street when I heard a BEAUTIFUL tenor voice. A young man came riding by on a bicycle wearing an outfit I can only describe as a combination of Charles Dickens and The Cat in the Hat, singing at the top of his lungs, “Here am I sitting in my tin can, far above the moon...”

Maybe you had to be there but he was ethereal. I’ve never forgotten. Hope wherever he is, I hope he’s still singing.
