tgif, midnight joy-riding, & weird moments waiting for take-out

1. Reminiscing about ABC's TGIF heyday, especially the show with one of the most immediately engaging theme songs, perhaps, of all time:

I always wondered what Larry saw in that newspaper that encouraged him so.

2. After midnight, the bicycles take over the roads; at a stoplight, I saw a group of them take conspicuous joy in speeding ahead of the cars.

3. Overhearing someone tell their fellow diner their version of the meaning of life as I stared at a fiber optic Christmas tree. It was a bizarre moment.
