Eavesdropping

I am at the B&N cafe near my house, working on stuff, and there’s a tutor sitting at a nearby table. He’s a grandfather’s age and has a white beard and hair. A succession of students are joining and leaving him. Every time one of them sits down, they catch up on life happenings for a few minutes and the tutor dispenses life advice corresponding to the aforementioned catch-ups. Then they launch into math. 

Back to my stuff.
