One could easily become a habitué of the Sunday morning
outdoor café scene in San Francisco’s Union Square. The appeals are many.
Lush urban setting. Sophisticated people watching. Table service. On this 79 degree morning I have
observed an extended French family with a total of eight children consume 10
cans of Coke, an 80-something Grandmother light up a cigar and a young Asian
man stroll by wearing a Panama hat, white linen pants, pale blue sport coat and
spectators. Did he lose his
walking stick?
It occurs to me that a degree in People Watching would
require course work at this Field Campus.

I leave you with this final question: Why is that man sucking on
his cell phone?
