I was trying to remember if you were one of the ones who commented on my conversation about change on the ground, because Ben’s super-power sounded vaguely familiar. Ah, no, that was Anna’s mother.

Since I wrote that last year, I’ve started leaving behind occasional coins in parking lots. If they’re pennies, I make sure they’re face up. I look at it as a cheap way to make the coin-picker-uppers (there must be a sophisticated word for that) in the world a little happier.
