A break-up in the ATL


I was in Atlanta the last three days for work. A coworker and I went to a place called Twain's in a trendy part of north Decatur. We amused ourselves for about half an hour by watching a girl breakup with her boyfriend (husband maybe?). He actually started crying at the table. Sobbing really. I thought his water-works might cause a tear from his female companion, but his now-ex-whatever was cold and calculated. She remained stoic. She did get up after a while and hugged him from behind as he sat with his chair pushed up to the table. But she returned to her seat after a minute or so, then they both just sat there awkwardly, avoiding eye-contact by watching fish swim around in a tank beside their table. It was one of the saddest yet freakin coolest things I've ever witnessed. Maybe Twain's is the place to break-up in Atlanta. Check it out if you're ever there.

This photo is not them, since I avoided making their situation any more awkward than it was. It would have been cool to have had an actual picture though huh?

Did you hear the part where she told him it was because sometimes he couldn't get the "Evinrude" cranking? Did you know what she meant by that?

Dan, Have you ever cried at a Movie? Which one did you cry at? I bet it was Ghost. Most men cry at Ghost.
