Nice chat on the bus

I met a nice woman waiting for the bus last night. We started chatting while we were waiting and found out we live in the same town. So I sat next to her for the ride home. It was like talking with my grandmother, except she didn't know me at all. But she asked about my studies and said that I will be a famous as Garry Hynes someday (the Director of Druid Theatre in Galway and an internationally known theatre director--first woman to get a Tony Award for directing, too). She said my parents must be very proud of me. We also talked about the unfortunate rate of failed marriages and how young people don't know how to talk through problems with calm voices and respect for each other. It was a nice conversation and I was glad I could accompany her most of the way to her home on such a late journey. As we parted she said I am a lovely young woman.
