I asked a guy if I could plug my computer in under his table at the coffee shop.
He got up and said that since he has no "technology" and he is at the "technology table"
that he would relinquish the table. I assured him that wasn't necessary, but he didn't
hear me with his head still half wrapped in his book. He proceeded to reach in his
pocket and pull out his cell phone and say "well I actually do have this for technology"
he proceeded to show me a photo of two young boys with matching green coats.
"twins?" I asked. "Not quite," he replied, "they are cousins and they are two days
apart.".... "The one on the left gets into all the trouble and the one on the right is tags
along for the adventure but keeps the other one out of real trouble"... "they are going to live together
in college" .... he told me a few other plans he had for these little kids. I told him to
write them down for them so they knew what to do with their lives. And he said that
they won't be needing anything like that... it's just going to happen.
And now I sit in the seat at the "technology table" warmed by a pleasant
and unusual interaction with a stranger.
Such a simple thing to make my day.
