There's an old man with a blue jacket who comes into the Hanover Diner every night. He's always extremely quiet but very polite and pleasant. It's people like this where the real stories lie. He's not out saving the world, he's not rescuing damsels, not fighting crime. But he must have some inner demons and regrets and unexplainable emotions

Wow, Erin. :) For once in my life I'm not going to be a smartass. I'm just going to say this.

That was mighty uplifting.

You sent chills down my spine and my eyes are now tearing up. That was incredible!

Here is our haiku for that sweet man that you were speaking of, written in the wee hours of January 3rd, 2004:

Plaid shirt, Blue jacket
Sweet adorable old man
Can I be your friend?

Thanks everyone. I didn't mean for this entry to be all arty and emotional. Actually, I wasn't even going to post it, but it made me feel good to come to this realization. So, I'm glad you all responded well to it.
