tales from an ordinary world

2002-08-27

I was catching up with an old friend I hadn't seen for a bit over a year, but was also aware of the couple in the booth next to us, having a Conversation^TM. I tried not to listen, of course, but particular phrases seemed to pop up and float over my way. He's on the defensive, it seems, saying "well, this is the place I'm at. maybe you're in a different place." I don't hear her reply. They seem fairly jovial, laughing occasionally, but I don't get the feeling that the guy got what he wanted, whatever that might've been.
