Nothing Is Any Better Today Than It Always Is (Which Is Pretty Effing Good)

Farmer's Market Purchases Yesterday:
- oblong tomatoes
- a tart, crisp variety of apples
- french petite green beans

"Is there anything else really good today that I am missing?" I ask my
go-to guy at my favorite produce stand.

"Nothing is better today than it always is," he said.

It was cute because that seems to be his attitude about most things in life. This is a guy in his mid to late 20s who lives his life in a three-phase cycle every year. Phase I: semester of college; Phase II: 4 months of traveling abroad, this year in India; Phase III: a spring and summer of farming and farmer's markets. What a life! And he always seems so happy to live it.
