So maybe…

Douglas Coupland is one of my favorite authors. From Generation X:
“Everyone has a gripping stranger in their lives, Andy, a stranger who unwittingly possesses a bizarre hold over you. Maybe it’s the kid in cut-offs who mows your lawn or the woman wearing White Shoulders who stamps your book at the library – a stranger who, if you were to come home and find a message from them on your answering machine saying, "Drop everything. I love you. Come away with me now to Florida," you’d follow them.”
Who knows, maybe it’s someone you’ll stand next to at a sushi bar.

Cute! So please tell me that said stranger isn’t Sam the dog (in the office)?
For her I’ll (1) risk getting allergies and pat her, (2) sneak random bits of food even though she’s not allowed to be fed, (3) put aside my work just to stare at her sleep! And end up having to work through the night?!
Urgh. I’m sure sushi bars have a no-pets allowed rule.
