On Sunday a random ass teenager spat on me as I was working to a board meeting for a nonprofit I work with. In such a moment, you let your feet go on auto pilot and contemplate the string of events leading to this moment. Then you call your friends to confirm that it’s not, in fact, letting the bastards win to take a shower. Then you call the police. Then you walk home, and take a very long shower, then a very long bath, then another very long shower. Then you wonder what you’ll tell the people you work with at the board meeting you just missed.
