Eating Lunch Alone
Someone I once knew openly pondered about folks who eat alone in restaurants.
Today I was the guy eating alone. Like most days. Only today it was in public.
The short answer is: they eat because they’re hungry. They eat alone because they want to. Or they don’t have anyone to eat lunch with. There were other people at tables for one. They didn’t look particularly lonely or sad.
Truth be told, they forgot to ask me if I wanted my order to go and I figured eh, what the heck, I’d get out of the office for 15 minutes longer anyway.
Too Good to Check - NYTimes.com
When widely followed public figures feel free to say anything, without any fact-checking, we have a problem. It becomes impossible for a democracy to think intelligently about big issues — deficit reduction, health care, taxes, energy/climate — let alone act on them.

Funny
When your heart has been broken in twain,
Feeling nothing but sorrow and pain,
Be a bump on a log,
Stuff it all in your blog.
Really, who wants to hear you complain?

Should the blogger keep strict to his text,
With his follower reading what’s next
Unabash-ed does find
Speaking plainly his mind
Does profoundly exclaim “oversexed!”

I listened to this on the drive to work today. Good story. You can read the text but I recommend listening to the recording so you can hear Swilley’s words.

Fascinating. I wonder what Steve Jobs’ personality type is. I’ll bet you he’s an ENTJ - the extroverted version of my personality. We seem to possess similar traits, but he’s better at inspiring others.
