Random Winkworthy Esq.

I must have looked particularly winkworthy Friday because two people I do not know openly and obviously winked at me in public. Why? Did someone tape a sign to my back saying "Wink if you love adverbs"? I don't often receive winks from total strangers and the only strangers at whom I wink with any frequency are toddlers sitting in grocery carts--there's nothing like an unprovoked wink to make a toddler giggle.

But I am not a toddler so I greeted today's two winks not with giggles but with puzzlement. What specific elements make a person particularly winkworthy? It's a mystery to me. Whatever those people were winking about, I wish they'd let me in on the secret.
