Chatty girl

Dear Chatty Girl,

I wanted to thank you so much for allowing me to listen in on your chat with a random stranger on the train back from Gillette Stadium. It was enlightening to learn so much about you during the entire ride. Who needs a cat nap anyways?

I had no idea that:

• You work for a private equity firm, but you don't invest in fashion or real estate since those industries are so prone to changes in personal taste. Good thinking!


• You live in Cambridge and love it sooooo much because you can walk to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and have sooooo many great restaurants nearby.


• You love Germany because it's so fun. I had no idea that you have also been to Amsterdam! That's awesome!


• You went to Suffolk business school, and used to have your own company making jewelry and repurposing clothing, but now you don't have much time for that.


• You were actually working at the game today, schmoozing in a luxury box. That sounds so fun! Too bad none of the people you're friendly with at work were there to join you. I bet you would have liked to have drunk some booze at the game (after all, you did mention that it was an open bar), but you were working, and you never know what you might say to those other financial types with a little sauce in ya.


• You loooooved the food in the luxury box. It sounded so delicious - "stadium food but more upscale" as you put it. Bratwurst, Angus burgers, jalapeno poppers with cream cheese and chives wrapped in bacon - it all sounded so yummy. And that dessert cart that goes to each box? Yum. Way to be in the presence of things so delish.


• You barbecued yesterday because it was 70 degrees here in Boston. AND you wore flip-flops. Way to take advantage of that global warming thing Al Gore mentioned in that movie.


• You don't have a car. How surprising, being that you mentioned that you're originally from New Jersey.


• You have such liberal parents. Wow! They really didn't mind that you smoked pot because they thought it was just like getting drunk? You mentioned that they were fine with it if you remained responsible about it, but still - quite progressive of them!

Chatty girl, I'm not sure if you read this blog, but if you do - again, truly, THANK YOU for letting be a part of your life, albeit a small role in such a grand production. I REALLY didn't want to doze off. My eyes were closed the entire time because it allowed me to focus better on your words.

All the best,

Jason
