The Adorable Stalkers

They walk with purpose. Toting coffee cups and courier bags slung across crisp button down shirts. They are athletes shrouded in three piece suits. DC boys pass wearing that “I’m about to do something very important” look on their faces. So what if they’re just going to order a sandwich? You know that whatever comes out of their mouths will be decisive and manly: cheeseburger, medium rare, to go. (And no, they don’t ask if it’s organically farmed cheese beforehand.) They read the newspaper. They know where to locate the sports section. And they have an opinion on the nuclear summit. It might even differ from yours. The most daring thing they do all day might be to tie on a pair of green Chucks after 5, or cross to the pub without the pedestrian walk sign. And you kind of love them for that.
