Yesterday afternoon I went out to Queens to check out the Alley Pond Environmental Center. I had wanted to go hiking. At the end of the 7 line, I looked for the Q12 bus. A girl was boarding before me. I heard her mention the center and told her I was heading in the same direction. "Good," she said. "You can show me where it is." The bus driver didn't know. I had to call the Center.

We missed our stop and had to get off at the next one. Walking back to the center I leared she was a junior at Brooklyn Tech. She was out at the center doing research in preparation for an environmentathon the following weekend. She asked me if I were in high school or college. I said I was older than that. She said I looked older. I told her I was 33. She said wow. She said that's really old. She said she thought I was in my twenties, but wasn't sure. My cap might have been hiding a lot of grey hairs.
