Strangers on a Train
Earlier tonight I was sitting on an F train to Brooklyn and a silver bearded Hasidic man sat down next to me and pulled out an IPod. I really wanted to know what he was listening to so I rudely looked over at his screen. Total bummer: it was in hebrew. Man, it would have really rocked my week if he had been listening to Jay Z or Metallica or something.

Today David and I were walking into HEB and this woman was staring at the newspaper vending machine, and as we walked by, she started talking. At first I thought she was on one of those bluetooth headsets (because sometimes I think people are crazy and talking to themselves but they are really talking on their bluetooth head sets) but no, it turned out she was crazy and talking to us.
And she goes: "You see these two women, these two famous women?" and she points out Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton, who are both pictured on the front page of USA Today today. And we nod, and she says "They're both crazy!" And David said "yep" and then we walked into HEB.
HEB is like Austin's subway.
Katie I am coming up Norte...I'll be in Boston from 5/14 to about the 21st and then will be in NY from 21st to 25th. Where you at?
And I am very intrigued by the diversity of iPod ownership. I still don't own one. I don't think I will. But that's what I said about DVD players 10 years ago, if that's how long they've actually been available.
