SCENE: Outside of Publix supermarket in Ft. Myers, Fla. Leaving the store in front of me is a young couple carrying groceries. The bright morning temperature at 62 degrees is a bit low for that southwestern part of Fla., but for my New Jersey sensibilities, it’s a lovely day today.
She: Atchoo atchoo—two large sneezes
He: God bless you
She: (recovering from her explosive sneezes) “Aarrgh! It’s the cold weather.”
Me (having a thought –which is a sort of conversation–with myself ) “Really? I just drove over 1,000 miles to get here, and she’s complaining?”
