If this is bizarro world, I don't want to go home

(1) Yesterday, at "Hamlet," I head not a sound from the audience. No whispering, no unwrapping candy--not even coughing. It was heaven.

(2) Last night, I made it to Potomac Yard in a straight shot. All green lights. Must have taken me less than five minutes.

(3) This morning, the Mount Vernon trail was abuzz with civil cyclist-pedestrian interaction. "Thank you"s for warnings, "thank you"s for stepping to the right, etc.

(4) This morning, in town, cars kept yielding at stop signs, even when it was their right of way, to let me go.
