Random Thoughts

Case in point. I was on a return trip from Shanghai. My flight out of China was delayed so I missed my connection at Newark and had hours to kill once arriving there. I sat at a bright looking bar in the Newark terminal, insensitive to the time of day here in New Jersey. I think it was about lunchtime or so. A large African-American guy sat down next to me. I greeted him, in part, by saying "It's so nice to chat with an American again." He chuckled, and we had a nice time together for the time we had. He was an NFL player who had been traded to the New York Giants. never even got his name, and I think he appreciated that.

That's the kind of bar buddy I enjoy. Real, present, and easy.
