So, I'm quickly walking to the T, but I decide to call Mom on the cell. Yes, I am one of those annoying people who walk and talk on her cell phones. But I try not to be too loud, and it certainly doesn't keep me from enjoying my surroundings.
As I walked up Worcester Street in the South End I saw something yellow fluttering about -- an absolutely gorgeous butterfly of a kind I'd never before seen. What do I do? With cell phone in one hand, I dig through my bag with the other, searching for my infamous camera. Did you know that it's difficult to talk on a cell, carry a tote bag, and photograph a skittish butterfly at the same time?
It is.
And yet, though the people around me must have thought I was nuts, chasing this butterfly while clutching my tote and cell phone, it was great fun. And I still managed to be early (how that happened I'll never know) to my volunteer gig.
Awesome.

As the ugly caterpillar eventually morphs into a beautiful butterfly, so too did a young deliquent named Isaac clean up his life and come to bless your blog with his unmistakeable wisdom and charm.
Its a little known fact that some mammals - particular the Australain Shreiking lemur, the snail toothed vole and the hobo - can spin their own coccoon and emerge as an insurance salesman.
