Overheard at "my office" today:

* Two men comparing ugly divorces.
* An elderly couple having a low-key argument.
* a small child (3 maybe?) looking through a book (hopefully about birds) saying loudly "peacock, peacock, peacock, peacock."
* the cafe guy bragging that he made lates for the CEOs of Borders and they said they were the best lates they ever had.

Books: must..... forge.... ahead.....
