Monday - Eavesdropping on Strangers

Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about the two women who sat at the table next to me at a Starbucks yesterday, and how when you are going to air your dirty laundry in a public place you should speak quietly. If you don't, the non-descript woman sitting at the next table writing in her old-fashioned paper journal might record every sordid detail you reveal. She will do this not because she wants to, but because she came there to think but couldn't because you were talking too loud. With a blank page in front of her and your words in her head instead of her own, she will write down your story, with commentaries and opinions about you. Then, if you are really unlucky, she will blog about you later on.
