Case Study No. 1.
Stopping at the bank on the way to our city’s Harvest Festival.
Jamie: “I don’t know why they need my ID to get cash back. They’ve never asked for it before.”

Case Study No. 2
It’s September, the time of cool temperatures, falling leaves and sweaters. Except Denver has forgotten that with persisting 90-degree temperatures (and allergies to add to my misery).
Me: “Last night, I dreamed it snowed one foot and we woke up in a winter wonderland. Don’t you think that’s a sign?”
Jamie: “It’s a sign that you need to suck it up a little bit longer.”
