Captain Argentina and I are definitely door-openers and stranger-welcomers (with caution) and we make wonderful acquaintances due to our interest in others. Walking the streets of New York City, we stop and talk to strangers, share stories, and have momentary connections that stay with us much longer than the conversations.

Louise, your uninvited “guest” left a strong enough impression that you wrote about her and shared her lovely artwork. We all benefited from the chance meeting.
