When I walked in this morning, there were white footprints the length of the restaurant's green carpet into the main room. What kind of person would leave such a mess?
An hour later as I left the restaurant, I passed the new sports bar they are constructing next door, just as a sheet rocker walked out to his truck.
Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truth, while reality is fabulous. If men would steadily observe realities only, and not allow themselves to be deluded, life, to compare it with such things as we know, would be a fairy tale and the Arabian Nights’ Entertainments. --Henry Thoreau

Friendly Help
At Panera's, two third grade boys sat next to me in an overstuffed chair. The grandparents of one of the boys had brought him and his best friend. They shared with me the best of third grader jokes. Then I told them that my grandson would be six next week and asked what they thought were the best toys.
They said they liked playing the computer game Minecraft. The grandmother suggested they recommend a "real toy" that one could touch. They suggested a few toys--including a Hula Hoop. Eventually they all left the restaurant.
Several minutes later, the boys came back in the restaurant to tell me they had forgotten to tell me about Lego toy kits.
