a question of dinner

did quite a bit of walking up and down pearl st. (the downtown strip) and it's surrounding blocks. a section of which is referred to as the pearl st. mall. it's essentially an outdoor mall. a bunch of stores and restaurants on each side of the street. filled w/ people. everyone you would expect to see in a mall on the day after thanksgiving. plus a bazillion homeless guys and hippies. tons of both in this town. more so than anywhere else. even more than boone, nc. hard to believe.

wandering around. getting close to dinner time. a couple is walking in back of me. overhear an all so familiar conversation - "i don't know? what do you feel like having?" "well, i don't know...?"

it's one of those dialogues everyone has at some point in their lives. chuckled to myself when i heard them. but then it hit me. realized i haven't had anyone to share that dialogue with for a long time. kind of miss it in a way.
