"Lunch at Riley's"
6 Comments - Show Original Blog

Randall, I have had a very difficult time trying to respond to your blogs the last couple of days. My comments were cut off and then vanished! Warnings from my Norton protection software of Backdoor Trojan virus, etc. etc. I believe this comment will make it through to you. Lunch at Riley's. Your observations, real or typical of others you have actually seen are right on. It makes one wonder what truly goes on within the minds of many of today's people. What are their values, do they know love? Good blog. I always enjoy reading your perspectives. Thanks, JMW

I too am guilty of watching other couples. I find their expressions can tell you so much about them. My husband and I had recently gone to Swiss Chalet for dinner and this elderly couple were sitting accross from us, I cried as I watched him cut her food for her, they shared dessert as he held her hand. I know so much about this couple for they are and have always been the perfect lovers. So much to read Dan. Thank you for sharing.

Correction:
The correct title of the book that I'm reading is "Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe." The authors name is Jennies Shortridge, not Jenny.

Chalk it up to getting old.

Dan - Your observations say as much about you as the couples you observed, a caring sympathetic person with the imagination and curiosity to wonder. Sounds like the characteristics of a writer. - David

Not all people are happy all the time and many have many worries. I do tend to observe people at other tables in restaurants too, and just wonder what their problems are. I surely would like to help them, but am not qualified and not even a counselor. I tend to like human relations though.
