Nothing of Consequence

I met up with Peter for lunch today. It's nice to see a familiar Iowa City face here in the heart of the city. Aside from that nothing really happend. Typical Monday...ness.

I had a strange moment on the subway platform though. I walked down to the lead end of the station like I normally do. While I walked I tried to fish out my copy of Cloud Atlas from my messenger bag. I wasn't looking into my bag though. I had to navigate the sea of people, I-beams, and make sure I didn't plummet onto the tracks. However, by the time I reached the far end of the platform I'd forgotten what I was looking for. So I just grabbed something and pulled it out. 

So I stood there blankly staring at what I grabbed:  A banana. Can you see this? Me, a banana, and a blank stare trying to figure out if this what I wanted. It wasn't. And then I said, "I'm so disappointed." To the banana. I looked up to see some guy in an Armani suit turn away awkwardly. Understandably so.
