A bit of good old Dr Seuss and a bit of the miserable 2am studying. Fun. Speaking of fun...

I was on the train home today when I absent-mindedly found myself staring at an elderly man (as you do) reading an old novel 2 seats in front of me. About halfway through, he buried his nose- literally- into the pages, closed his eyes and inhaled deeply.

Then he resumed reading with a contented smile.

Oh what I would give to take a photo of that moment. Made my day.
