Some People Have More Money Than Sense


This year we went to probably the nicest restaurant in Austin for Valentine's Day. It is so exclusive that we couldn't get in on Valentine's Day and ended up going on the 15th, which was okay because it was still Valentine's weekend. We got dressed up for the occasion and have the photo to prove it. If we are going to have a special date night, we want to make it, well, special. However, not everyone in Austin is as awed by a nice dinner at a classy restaurant as we are. While we were having our post-Valentine's celebration, another diner entered the room. The first thing that struck me was that he was wearing a baseball cap backwards. What was even more discordant was that he had to be at least as old as me. He was also wearing jeans and an untucked shirt. Upon being seated, he pulled out his phone and began chatting. Goodness knows that my parents didn't succeed in everything that they tried to teach me. However, I won't wear a hat inside a building and I certainly don't wear a baseball cap turned backwards in a five star dining establishment. No one else seemed to notice. Maybe it was Matthew McConaughey and they were just relieved that he was wearing clothes.
