So, I’m 30 years old. I know how to use a door.
And so I am walking through the library, approaching the automatic door. I wasn’t breaking stride, but the door was not opening. I stopped short about 6″ from the glass, and it took me 1.5 seconds to decide to push open the door with my hand. But for that 1.5 seconds, I felt dumb, as if the door had outsmarted me by not doing its part.

Nothing Like a Door to Make an Adult Feel Dumb
Thursday, March 29th, 2007For Lease
Friday, March 2nd, 2007I was riding the bus through downtown Milwaukee today, and as usual, every other storefront was vacant. We then drove past a big open window with a “FOR LEASE” sign, and under it were a few children pressed up against the window. It made me chuckle to think of leasing your children. I wish I had a picture, because it would speak louder than
a blog.
