It was a rainy Sunday afternoon and there wasn't much to do. Ironically however, everyone I had called seemed to have plans for the day. All were staying in...doing something around the house. But, I needed to get out. I was restless.
What does one do on a rainy Sunday afternoon? Well, apparently one goes to the book store...ya know, the big book store with the coffee shop inside? Well, that is where I ended up with no purpose really but to get some coffee and browse the books.
Apparently, I wasn't the only one with that idea that day. The place was packed. I had to park on the far end of the parking lot and by the time I got my way to the store I was pretty soaked. It wasn't going well. The line at the café was more than ten people long and every last table and seat in the place was taken. Figures!
For a moment, I thought about leaving...getting back in my car and just going back home. But, considering how far away I parked and how soaked I had gotten just to be there, I decided to stay...and I'm so glad I did.
Now, there are a variety of topics that interest me and considering the fact that I had gone there with no real agenda, I wandered the store, stopping here and there to browse the titles...looking for something to catch my interest. It wasn't happening. I was distracted by the wet clothes that clung to my body and the number of people crowding my exploration. And so my attention drifted from the books to the people.
