..laughter on their dust lips.

Today, I was not "blessed" to have been seated next to the infamous NJT masturbater or a past contestant of a tanked Bravo reality series, instead I was seated next to an interesting man with a thick Staten Island accent and an affinity for electronics. His man purse came equipped with a Kindle, mini laptop, ipod, and camera phone; all of which he put to use on this hour and a half journey.
What happened to the organic awareness of turning a page in a book? Or conversing with a fellow commuter rather than barricading yourself with technology? I may never run into my tech savvy traveling cohort again, but I have to say he put some things into perspective.
