Nice little moment

I do my "big" grocery shopping early Saturday mornings when I can, because fewer of the sorts of people who make me lose my religion are out that early.

So, I was walking across the lot of the store, and I heard a guy call out "It's Dr. ricki! Out bright and early!"

I looked around, and saw one of my students. He was so far away I barely recognized him (I'm pretty short-sighted, even with glasses) but I guessed who it was from the tone of his voice. I waved at him and he waved back.

I like stuff like that. He didn't have to greet me - honestly, I would not have seen him or noticed him, because of the angle he was at relative to how I was walking - but it made me happy that he did.
