＊今天在百忙之中去了趟飯局，而席間談論到的話題彼此牽扯的很厲害。該說是這世界太小，還是這世上的事就這麼個樣，扯來扯去就那樣，我也不清楚。
任顯群是個人物
閒扯間提到這個名字，我的腦袋開始搜尋，記起是京劇名伶顧正秋的先生，當年和小蔣爭奪顧正秋鬧的轟轟裂裂，無人不曉，我不知在何時翻過顧正秋的傳記，反正不記得，會記得的原因可能是羨慕那樣不顧ㄧ切的感情，罕見至極。
長輩曾和任顯群共事過兩年，當年都為了台灣的農業努力，曾為了ㄧ次出國考察冷凍蔬果而和農復會槓上，原因是農復會不願補助考察的費用，任顯群當時已經退下公職，以業者的身分申請，也帶了農復會的人去，包括這位長輩，長輩當時仍是農復會的人，不停在跟農復會溝通，任顯群得知後，請長輩先離去，他來處理這件事，他對農復會說，之前為台灣農業努力，現在是業者帶官員和技術人員第一次去國外考察學習生產技術，沒有理由阻攔，農復會摸摸鼻子，不敢說話。
把話當年和那些專有名詞去掉後，突然覺得，做人不就應該這樣嗎？站得直，行得正，理直氣壯的挺著腰桿，不咄咄逼人，也不玩小手段凸顯自己的權力或重要性，當然也不妄自菲薄，莫名奇妙的忍受著奇怪的委屈，我就站在這兒，曬著太陽淋著雨都是我的事，我腳下踩著這小小ㄧ方，就是我立足之地，不用別人的眼睛看自己，用自己的心對待自己也對待別人。
我好像聯想太多，不過這真的是我聽到後消化出來的東西。
巫ㄧ毛談文革歲月
在飛機上看到一篇書評，是作者談自己和家人如何在孩提時期經歷文革，印象很深的原因是（我覺得很可能）我是母親，母親通常（我說通常）對看到小孩受虐會很受不了，就像我無法再看霧中風景或無人知曉的寧靜夏日一樣，無法承受，即使我真的清楚這世界的醜惡和殘忍。我無意提了讀到這篇書評，緊接在談論六四民運份子之後，阿姨說，（邊拿著我選的超好喝智利紅酒）那是我表妹。我再確認地問了ㄧ次，是啊一毛是我表妹，她是我舅舅的女兒，1976年我從美國去安徽看他們，台灣不讓我辦新護照，好幾年回不來。（我想是黑名單的意思）
阿姨的舅舅和李政道是同學，當年為了替“祖國奉獻“束裝回北京，文革時被狠狠地批鬥。
如果我沒看到那書評，就不知道這本書，就不會拿出來閒扯，就不會知道我認識的阿姨是巫家親戚，我的意思是，還是很扯，即使中文人有這樣多，太扯了，不過還是很想看這本書，本來還擔心是香港出的不知去哪買，現在嘿嘿。
距離上次和人有關很扯之流水帳
2001年在紐約六號地鐵上，和ㄧ起在Charlie Rose 實習的男生一同搭車回家，都坐到Astor Place，所需時間約十五分鐘。
我說: 你很像一個人也，不過她是女演員，（真佩服自己無俚頭的對話能力，竟然跟一個男人說你像ㄧ個女人）
他說: 是嗎？誰啊？
我說: Meryl Streep....
他說: 那是我媽。
我記得我當場傻眼，雖然很會扯的我仍然扯了些什麼，應該就是看著他的大眼睛愣在那裡吧。
1991還1992念高ㄧ時，升旗時和站在附近有個特別姓氏的新同學說，你的姓和參與野百合的某個教授ㄧ樣也... 同學說，（遲疑了ㄧ下，可能是因為了解我將和她同學三年躲不掉）那是我爸。
後來發現她是我國中同學的表姊，也算扯。
這世間的人和事物都可以這樣扯不停嗎，我要去睡了。

Thing One and Thing Two, etcetera...
What should we be proud of?
Our bloody history?
Our confused minds of who we really are, or who we thought we are?
Our beloved politicians?
Our getting-worse economy?
Or the education system that I'm horrified to send my child to?
What should we be proud of?
Tell me.

everyday drama
I was waiting for my soy latte at this Soyclub that Sandy recommends.
The guy at the counter was like doing everthing in the mean time.
The guy who just paid was waiting very unpatiently and he even demanded more avocado slices in his sandwich.
The girl who was in front of me was kind of flirting with the guy at the counter. She even left him like a two dollar tip. Too bad he didn't see it when he turned to make her coffee.
I was thinking maybe I should go to the place "grounded" that I spent my yesterday afternoon with. It was more low-key, and more not exclaiming " the organic life style equals soylatte equals vegertarian equals yoga or pliates..so on and so forth"
Those little place are all the same in certain ways, which sometimes I do like and sometimes I don't.
The price you are paying for the soy latte or green tea latte you're holding now, $4.28 dollars.
The price of sitting at the window at the corner of Greenwich Ave & Jane Street, watching people create their little act even when they are walking on the street, and blogging about all this...
priceless.
