How can they live like that! > Hey Tobin, Ya know, it's a funny thing that happened to me this weekend. I used to be a wavin' fool (well, I'm at least half right). I had tennis elbow and didn't even own a racket. I used to drive everywhere in first gear 'cuz I didn't have the time to put my arm down and shift. Then, this weekend, in one moment, it all changed forever. I was wavin' away on my way down to Starbucks (no one around, but then I might have missed someone--no use taking chances) when my cell phone flys out of my hand and knocks into my Grande Mocha; spilling espresso roasted, caffeinated, chocolaty goodness all over my prized collection of Doobie Brothers tapes (and you said not a doob in the whole van--ha!) I couldn't believe it. In a flash of insight I realized the foolish, pointless, unproductive waste of time embodied by "waving" at total strangers. True, no diseases could ever spread that way, but my God! I don't even know them! What was I thinking? I'm starting a new user group: Y.A.W.N.--yuppies against waving needlessly--our time has come. To be a member you must pass the following simple test: 1. own a Eurovan 2. wish you owned a Eurovan -or any two of the following- 3. refuse to drink coffee unless it's expensive 4. know what a "grande" is 5. own a cell phone 6. believe that mall-walking is an under-appreciated form of exercise It's the dawn of a new age. Won't you come y..aw.n. with me? Jeff
