I'm at the stoplight & look over to the left. There is a minivan with an older couple, the wife on the passenger side closest to me. She is holding a CD, the sticker still on it. She's waving it in the air, following the invisible waves of the song. The husband skips to the next song. Then the next. She is so blissful in the possibility of what could come next.
I get her attention and motion for her to roll down the window. She does and I tell her how much I enjoyed seeing her enjoy the music. I ask what it was. She starts to beam "Oh, we just bought it at the DI. It is Old English singers singing old Christmas carols." I say thank you for sharing your happiness with me and the light turns green.
