How often do you sit and watch the world go by?

I don’t necessarily watch the world go by, but I often leave my phone in the house, turn on the back patio radio and sit in the yard and stargaze. There’s something so calming and relaxing about looking up and knowing how vast it all is.

Near my house there is a bench under a live oak. On Saturday mornings when there isn’t anything pressing I will leave my phone behind and walk there and sit on the bench and watch cars pass by and look at who is driving the cars and wonder who they are and what they are doing with their day. And I will look at their cars and trucks and suv’s and think about them too.

I suggest you bring a notebook and practice writing while doing this on Saturdays.

Papa sometimes used a bunch of ‘ands’ too

Does sitting alone at Walk-On’s bar people watching and contemplating life every Thursday count?

Probably about 20 days a month whether at home just sitting on the porches.

Back porch I have a bird's eye view of my big vegetable garden with birds coming flying in and out pecking at things between the rows. Lots of butterflies and dragon flies doing their thing.

Front porch is more for people watching. There's a bar down the block that is pretty popular and draws a lot of folks for Happy Hour and on weekends for the college and pro games on TV.

A few times a month I'll head to a local watering hole that has several dart league teams and watch them play if I don't jump in and get in a few pickup games before league starts. Sometimes it amazes me how quickly some people can get sloshed when the shots and chasers are flowing.

Sometimes I just sit on the dock of the bay…

If I’m on a business trip for more than 1 night, I’m the guy sitting alone at the bar without my phone trying to make eye contact with you for a little conversation. What can I say, I get lonely. And talking to strangers is good for you.

I agree. Been doing this for a few months now. I go play 9 holes of golf alone then come to Walk-Ons nurse a beer or two eat then go home. Sometimes I have conversations with people sometimes I don’t but I do agree that talking to complete strangers makes for a good evening. Especially if they’re a talker and or interesting
