Not so chilly at Chilis

Thursday night I went to New Jersey to visit my friend Anni.
As I was waiting at the airport I decided to go to Chilis for dinner. The line was long and as I was standing there, I noticed a lot of single people sitting at tables by themselves. Why don't they all scoot together and free up some more tables? As I was thinking this, I was asked by the host if I wanted to join a table that already had two occupants? Why not, and so I met two ladies from Dallas, Texas and Laguna Beach, California. They were drunk and funny, but unfortunately they had to leave. Before I could even think about they had recruited someone new to sit at the table, a young man going on a ski vacation all by himself. I thought that was odd, but he was very nice and as he said," Americans don't do this sort of thing" meaning having dinner with strangers at the airport.
It was fun and different and not the last time I have dinner by "myself".
