“There's nothing like eavesdropping to show you that the world outside your head is different from the world inside your head.” -- Thornton Wilder

Get me out of here!
Woman leaving a store: "I feel like an idiot. No matter how many times I clicked my car door opener, the door to the store wasn't going to open for me..."
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
