tickled

I was walking towards the 1st floor door of my office stairwell at around 6:30am when the door swung open and a women I did not know slid past me and I said thank you. I rarely see anyone in the stairwell at that hour so it caught my attention. I then vaulted up the seven flights of stairs to my office quickly changing from my winter bike commuting gear into my light gym gear. A few minutes had passed and I made an even quicker descent of the same stairs with ear buds in place. As I reached the ground floor and was about to grab the door handle it once again opened for me and sliding by me again was the same woman. As I entered the hallway it was clear we were both laughing about this common crossing we had just shared. This would be hard to plan but fortunately life can tickle you at any moment so keep all your senses open.
