Orlando International Airport, 7am. I’m foraging for food for my husband near gate 25 at an “upscale” cafe that serves cinnamon rolls. I’m 3 away from being served.<\/p>\n

At the head of the line is a well groomed gentleman, plain clothes, nothing to write home about, who had just ordered a coffee and a danish. He’s told the amount for his purchase and quickly digs into his nicely weathered satchel and produces a can of mixed nuts.<\/p>\n

He hands the can to the woman. “You will find the money in here,” he says. Straight faced.<\/p>\n

She hesitates. She looks at him. He looks at her. The can in his hand doesn’t waiver. She takes the can. She opens the can.<\/p>\n

It’s filled with dimes.<\/p>\n

As she dumps and counts, the man places his fingertips on his eyebrows and looks downcast.<\/p>\n

In my post-Disney, post-vacation depression, I don’t know if this is annoying or awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
