You passed me twice on the Reservoir track, each time with a grin and a wave. I meant to match your pace, but only caught your infectious energy. If you see this, maybe we can race to a cup of coffee.

We both got hopelessly turned around looking for the Egyptian wing and laughed at our mutual lack of direction. You joked you were better at finding dinosaurs. I wish we’d gotten lost together a bit longer.
