"Excuse me."  Someone tapped on my shoulder.  I turned and discovered I'd been accosted by a medieval bard in a feathered hat, slashed doublet, and parti-colored hose.  "Are you going to Scarborough Fair?"
"I, uh, no.  Not today.  I'm not even sure where that is."
"Oh."  He looked crestfallen, staring at the dry-cleaner's ticket in his hand.  "Well, if you find yourself out there, tell her I've got the planting finished.  I was hoping my shirt was ready."
I shot an accusatory glance at my shopping basket: parsley, sage, rosemary, and... turmeric?  I suppose three out of four isn't bad.
