A funny thing happened while I was sitting outside of Carl's Jr., reading my book and enjoying some french fries. The drive through line was non-stop. The way I was facing, I could see each person in their car as they drove through. The table to my right had two men who were discussing men things... sports. A blonde in a miata drove by and looked over at the men and said, "Hi Bob!" The men looked over but didn't say anything. She followed up with a bubbly, "How have you been?" I didn't look up, but I could hear the awkward silence as the men again didn't respond. Finally, I look up to see her face as she realizes that it's not Bob and she says, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were someone I knew." She tried to drive forward another space, but the car in front of her hadn't finished ordering yet so there was really nowhere for her go. She just had to sit there under the embarrassing scrutiny of their chuckles. One of them said, "I sure wish I was Bob" but she couldn't hear from where she was.
Training. Boring. Lovely. But we did get an 1 1/2 lunch and I hear we'll be leaving early so it can't be all that bad.
The book has ended. It was a good, fast read.

The daily jazz of my mind, as pure & honest as possible; but know that words are themselves filters of the original thought/idea.
