Lunchtime Celebration

He did something different the other day -- something he had not done in a very long time. He pushed back his chair and took off his glasses and paused his computer and left for lunch.

He went out for lunch the other day -- something he had not done for a very long time. And as he waited for the waitress to wander by, with the room filled with birthday revellers eating cake and talking loudly amid floating balloons, he realized something.

He realized while he was at lunch the other day that he had not done this for a very long time, that he had eaten at home (from his telecommuter's office) every day for two years.

So with the birthday behind him, he decided to celebrate a little on his own. When the waitress asked him if he'd like something to drink, he ordered a Dr. Pepper.
