In my pocketsize notebook that goes everywhere with me, i started to write about an experience I had @ BYU Laundry with a customer. I started this short story and never finished, but, I have the title:
An Illens Dort, from the Department of Translation, came to the counter here @ BYU Luandry, where I co-exist with everyone else's dirty clothes but my own. His pleasant demeanor awaited me and as I approached the counter he calmly waited for me with his eight shirts anxious to be tagged and cleaned. I asked him if he'd been here within the last month because if not, we'ld have to re-put his information into our system. Giving me his last name I typed away and with relief clicked on his previously registered information. Happily, I informed Illens that the stystem recognized him, that we had him in the system, with which he slyly replied "I'm still alive." A smile took over the bottom half of my face to which the responisiblity of this action goes towards this tall, middle-aged African American man's humor. Again he spoke..."You have a beautiful smile." That comment, along with his charm and humor made me want to make sure his order was very well taken care of. If you're nice, you'll be taken care of, not just @ the laundromat.
Besides that story that happened over a week ago, so much happens that I forget about it. A lot of really great things have been happening in my life...i just lack one thing, but, we can't win them all.
I'll write again with more time and energy in the near future.
PAZ FUERA
