Yesterday I watched an older gentleman come into Starbucks, carrying a laptop. Interesting, I thought. I wonder what he is going to work on, I wrote in my journal as I mustered up the courage to go ask if I could sit with him to chat.

I am glad I did as Jim was indeed an interesting fellow. He was there to pass the time while his wife got her hair done a few shops down. We discussed various things: computers, the military, my journal. I offered him some advice on the intricacies of Word and we exchanged emails. Yay for new friends!
