At the theatre tonight, a night I braved the daytime snows to attend, the person in the seat next to me chatted lightly about the weather, the script and all things ‘lite’. At the end of the play, she asked, “Would you like to have a drink?” And i said yes to this person, whose name I did not yet know. but had a nice demeanor. She knew a great location in the neighborhood and we spent an enjoyable couple of hours chatting. Will we see each other again? Who knows. But it was a non-political, non-demanding two people chatting about their lives and choices. What a treat.
