I was waiting in line for the farmer’s market in Great Barrington when a woman nearby said that she liked my T Shirt. I was wearing a T Shirt from Hawaii featuring the Rainbow Drive-In Diner in Honolulu. A big smile appeared on her face as she told me that her grandmother lived a few blocks from the Diner.

I often vacillate between wearing t-shirts with messages as opposed to plain ones. That morning was a pleasant psychic reinforcement for wearing a shirt with a message. The women’s momentary connection to her grandmother was so clear in her smile. Was it coincidence that I wore that t-shirt and was at that spot at that time ?
