We celebrated a few birthdays this month: mine, my son's, and my older sister's.
We all live in different areas and states, but it was still nice to call up and chat.
I received a notice for jury duty, but I am not going to be able to serve because it is too close to the surgery I am scheduled for in April. They have set the date for early May, but I will still be recovering from the surgery. I sent a doctor's letter, so hopefully, I will be excused.
Steve and I went to the city to visit an outdoor Asian food court. The food there is incredible. We were coming back on the train when a young man and woman entered the carriage, and she sat next to us. All good so far. Then the young man started looming over the woman, grabbing the phone, tugging at her hair, and becoming more and more physically aggressive. They were not speaking English, but their body language was enough to alert us that this was an escalating situation. We could see that she was crying and looking frightened, and that was when Steve yelled out to the man to leave her alone. I asked her if she needed help; she smiled and said no, but I could see how upset she was. I am so proud of Steve for standing up for this young woman, and he is on a walker. But he's a good bloke who won't sit by and watch a young woman being terrorized.
Now, don't get me wrong, people argue, and we don't usually get involved, but it was the way he seemed to be physically threatening her. They left the train, and I only hope that things did not get too bad when they got home. At least this creep knows that if he monsters a woman in public, there will be people who will not tolerate it.
I have finally started reading the manga series, Joker One Operation. It is pretty good. I just need to find the final book.
That's about it for now. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
