We lunched at our favorite Chinese place in downtown Wilmington today. Parking is a teensy bit lacking, so we parked several blocks away and then walked to the restaurant. As the world is probably aware by now, I am a walkaholic—my tolerance for the sport is absurd; my natural walking pace can be quicker than many people's exercise pace.

So today, I trudged along the sidewalk, allowing all mundane thought to disperse in the wind. I was too busy thinking of lunch by then...[food tends to be an all-consuming thought]. Anyway, I hear a strangled, "Hold up!" escape someone's mouth in the background.

...there's something familiar about that voice...don't know what......lo mein, steamed veggies, crab rangoons—WAIT A MINUTE! THAT WAS MILES!
