This poor thing

DS and I went out for a quick bite to eat. It is a cheapo Mexican restaurant with the most delicious food - you go up to the counter and order and then when it is ready you sit down with your food.

Okay - and this POOR dear soul of a man was sitting by himself in the center of the restaurant. And in the center of his table, on one of those metal book stands, was a book he was reading.

The title? "The last self help book you will ever need."

He nodded his head at me. So I smiled back to be nice.

But the poor thing! I felt so sorry for him. I mean, who would take a book like that out to a restaurant?

Maybe it is catty of me to report - but I thought you all would appreciate this story.

It is funny. But it has an important message. Somewhere on this planet, lurks the perfect single guy for you who wishes he had someone.

It is probably not him. But he is out there!!
