“There's nothing like eavesdropping to show you that the world outside your head is different from the world inside your head.” -- Thornton Wilder
The Life All Around us
We all do it -- no point in denying it. Well, I'm here to admit that I am an inveterate eavesdropper. The folks behind me in line, the people at the next table, that guy on his cell phone passing me on the street... Those snatches of conversation that float my way are often intriguing, delicious, irresistable.
I've long thought that there was a book in those snippets, somehow. But I've never figured out how to put it all together. Until I do, I can't just let them drift away unrecorded.
And so, here we are. Pattiken

so true...for so many...
I used to enjoy similar snippets when I travelled on the trains everday. Now I'm retired, I get fewer snippets to listen to! But here's a nice one from yeaterday -
'What about the wadding in between?'
...what indeed!
Working in Health & Social Services, I saw this every day.
And also, having a daughter in day care before and after school... is twice my car payment.
For real.
Brian & Ti: Sad, isn't it?
Jinksy: I just love them, those little tidbits that float your way out of the everyday hubbub.
