1/24: copy room conversation

I am on friendly terms with a woman who works in the Business Office. We say hello and occasionally chat a little--not much, because she's very no-nonsense at work. I like her manner. Today in the copy room we talked more than usual, as she told me about moving her mother and step-father from Chicago to Arkansas so they could be closer to her now that they're older. The way she talked about it--caring and sensible, clear and smart--made me admire her all the more.
