I don’t do it often. After seeing a movie with my friend last night, we participated in my ritual of going to a late night diner after to debrief. We were so invigorated by the movie we saw that we decided to sit at the counter. Talked to an older man whose main characteristic, as my friend was quick to point out, was his teal skinny scarf. We‘re divided on whether or not he was hitting on us, but he was friendly all the same. We got into a long conversation shortly after with the man sitting next to us, a clocked-out waiter from another restaurant, who wanted advice on his next Substack post. He said he wrote a piece about Trader Joe’s nuts that I later found and think is actually fantastic. Should I link a stranger’s blog? Is that weird? Let me know. I have it, either way
