April 26

Adam likes jelly beans. And he has a special affinity for the Brachs spice variety. So today, I went looking for some for him. It wasn't an especially fruitful venture, as it turned out. I looked everywhere. But just as I was about to give up, I found this:

One singular, lonely bag all by itself on the shelf at Walmart. I immediately had the sense that it'd been waiting all day for me to find it, and I was --as weird as it sounds-- elated.

It's so nice, every now and then, to find something you're looking for just when you're ready to throw in the towel.
