El Capitan: Well they came in on the runway real hot, hopping all around. They probably could have made it. But once the plane starts falling apart ... uh it just exploded.
Me to Mum: Well thanks what a reassuring thought jsut before we board our aircraft.

Overheard in DC
on the metro with Nell when we caught this exchange between an aggressive lawyer type and an older woman with too much rouge.
Old lady: Are you sure we are meant to go this way
Lawyer type: Yes for the fifth time, just trust me.
They got off the train and he began yelling at her to follow him, but she instead turned to Nell and asked which way 22nd was, and Nell directed her in the opposite direction of her companion. I asked if they were together because they were going to get separated.
Old Lady: He is only an acquaintance, and a real jerk. Ladies let me tell you, don't date a man unless you know his type. That guy is not a good date.
She then thanked us for the directions and headed in that direction. I looked back to see the aggressive lawyer stomping his feet, shaking his head and begrudgingly following at a distance.

Overheard at the Armory Show- NYC
got a VIP pass from Paul, so I could do some shameless eavesdropping in the lounge. I wasn't seated long before I caught this gem between a trio of fair goers. Two women and one man, they were Mexican, Spanish something Latin. And the man was very debonair. The women were tacky Latin. You know the type, overly blonde, pastel outfits and gaudy jewelry. He was clearly the star.
Mr. D. : Hola ladies, how are you enjoying the fair?
TL1: O (name I missed) I thought we might see you, bueno bueno... como este?
Mr. D. : I just got in from Mexico City yesterday. I went to Pulse and Volta yesterday.
TL2: And how was it?
Mr. D.: Not at good as Mexico. My son is there for the season, so i was down for three weeks, and I am going to the estate (yes he said estate) on the weekend.
TL1: I was wondering, so you don't stay in Mexico all winter.
Mr. D: No no just Julio, he hates the cold. So what do you think of the fair?
TL1: It's ok. You?
Mr. D.: um hum, nut I am glad to be back in the city. I am going to the townhouse this evening and then out to the estate on Saturday, well adios ladies.
