Appearances

Eating peacefully alone yesterday afternoon:

1)

Me: Spagio, asparagus and lobster ravioli, the NY Times, a glass of cabernet eating alone on a late Tuesday afternoon. Something brought me to thinking about my mom who frequently eats alone at Applebees eating a grilled chicken wrap, reading an historical romance, drinking chardonnay...

So similar, yet worlds apart.

2)

Four women. All dressed well in mostly white summer outfits. One without makeup, just from the gym. All drinking the same draft lager from the tap at Spagio. All excited to be there. All with the same nicely dyed blonde hair color but different styles.

Question: Would you expect they had their fingernails done?

I did.

Not one of them did. Each one's nails were short, well manicured and unpolished.

Interesting, isn't it?
