What a title for a blog post right?
Well before I get into that story let me share how my day went and thank all the women that came to my rescue.
We are in New Orleans visiting our daughter who is a student at Tulane University.
We started the morning with a run and ended up at our favorite breakfast spot, Mollie’s Rise and Shine. I didn’t bring my wallet but they take Apple Pay.

I ended up paying her back on Venmo and we were on way. Touched by kindness and our hot breakfast sandwiches in hand.

At one point, I notice a pit bull on a leash about 10 yards ahead of me. A few seconds later the dog leaps at me and escapes from the owners grasp of the leash.
