As soon as Peter walked in, he felt a certain lightness. It felt as if his shoes had become spring-loaded. He felt an inexplicable surge of energy. He decided to tackle the inbox immediately.

He started by turning to Carol, who was always stressed. He grinned and asked, "How's it going today?"

Carol looked up, bewildered. "You… actually asked? What's going on?"

"The air just feels right today. Remember Camp Blue Ridge? I was there during the summer of '99." Peter inquired.

Carol stared. "How do you know that? Wait, did you go to the summer camp with the hiking trails?"

Peter smiled. "I loved hiking back then. It was such a great time."
