Waiting For a Hero

April 27, 2008 07:00 PM ET | Levin, Eric | Permanent Link

Waiting for a takeout order is a good time to zone out, read a paper, or, if you're like me, start looking at one's surroundings closely and hopefully. I use the word in the old-fashioned sense. I will never give in on hopefully.

At about 100 paces from our office door, Anthony's Pizza and Pasta is not only the closest food shop to our office, but a good one, making fresh tasty subs. The looking around is also quite good.

I find it a very meditative space. First, it has huge picture windows facing the street. A few pictures I'll post in the future will show you that Anthony keeps the windows so clean that they don't even appear to be there, a captivating sensation.

So an appealing daylight, though rarely direct sun, always streams through the big windows. And when the light touches the aquamarine molded benches, I begin to believe in chromotherapy. (Aromatherapy I already believe in. Like, fresh coffee, fresh marinara, frying garlic, need I go on?)

When they bring me the white bag containing my hero sandwich rolled in aluminum foil, sometimes I get up reluctantly. I want to enjoy that aquamarine '80s buzz a little longer before I head back to my desk.

But I know I'll be back.

Nice to see a plug for you on Baristanet. Glad I checked in.

In a couple of weeks I'll be on News 12 NJ talking about how classroom management drains our education system of already precious tax dollars. It ain't the Today Show, but it's a start. Look forward to rolling up our sleeves on that piece for September. Got an angle yet?

Click. Tap.

See the www.storyofstuff.com when you get a chance.

Be in touch. Who knows maybe I'll run int to you at Uptown. Maybe Jackie's Grillette.
