Salute to the Handsfree-Talker and Walker

Okay, so most people are generally annoyed by the "Hands-free talker and walker" who appears to be a crazy person talking to themselves and gesticulating to the air.  I find myself diligently searching for their tiny earpiece sometimes hidden by their hair to confirm...yes this is a normal person on their hands-free device talking to another human verses a crazy person or an alien that I should be wary of.  This morning I was pleasantly entertained by a hands-free-talker-woman at Starbucks who could have been uprooted and placed in a lecture hall or a at a podium giving some political speech and you would never have known the difference based on her air-preaching.  If there was a competition for hands-free talking, I would definitely nominate her.  The two minutes of waiting for my coffee was definitely an entertaining experience--I was captured and convinced of whatever she was talking about.  So, thank you hands-free-talker-walker-woman. 

The Bean

This morning I got called by name and asked what I wanted at my favorite coffee place, I've affectionately termed 'the bean' (the coffee bean).  There is something about being called by name, especially by someone you do not even know that makes you feel special.  I think deep down we all just want to be known, and this morning 'coffee bean guy' made me feel known.  Thank you mr. coffee bean guy!
