"Gotta give the artist some room"

Once upon a time...

Michele and I were sitting in Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company (in Astoria), enjoying a whole wheat everything bagel with tofu vegetable cream cheese. The chilly rain outside combined with the heat inside to cloud the huge glass window. A little girl, maybe five years old, happily capitalized on this opportunity to draw with her finger on the foggy window.

A blue collar-looking guy at a nearby table slid his chair back away from the little girl. When I smiled at him, he shrugged: “Gotta give the artist some room.”
