MONICA PHILLIPSON: Things might be looking up. I met some people this morning. At first I only saw a couple of guys, so I hid. I don't need those kind of problems, if you know what I mean. But then I guess one of them was a girl, just bundled up so much you couldn't even tell. She saw me duck down and she came and found me. Freaked me right out. But she was okay, even... nice. You don't see that much anymore. Trust me. She invited me to come along. And there's safety in numbers, so let's just see what happens.
