Gorgeous, sunny Sunday morning at Green Lake. Snippets of conversation overheard while walking around in the opposite direction to most people:
- “I make a ton of chicken nuggets, when I make chicken nuggets”
- “Remember that movie The Turning Point with Mikhail Baryshnikov?”
- “I can’t sit down and focus on anything for any length of time”
- “She drinks several large mochas a day”
- “He’s always dated white women.” – “I know”
- (mutter) – “Okay, that is NOT TRUE!”
- I tell ya, 75% of the people I work with have ADHD” (is this the same person who can’t focus?)
- “He started relationships with other girls and I’ve been sort of like, okay”
- “At the end of the road you can see the top of the Space Needle”
- “You need to lose about 30 pounds”
- [Two women speaking emphatically in Mandarin Chinese. Then again, everything sounds emphatic in Mandarin Chinese]
Feel free to cringe if any of these were you.

I’m just glad you didn’t hear me say, “This lake is so big. Let’s go have margaritas instead!”
I love eavesdropping on conversations while strolling around the lake. There is one spot, in particular, just South of the Bathhouse Theater, where I always hear women talking about their men. I call that stretch of the lake “Relationship Row”.
Haha, this is an awesome post. It’s always entertaining to hear conversational sound bites out of context. Def. a common experience walking around Green Lake on a weekend.
When walking the lake, sometimes my friend or I say something, and we’ll then say “that would sound very weird to someone passing by.” Perhaps one of you will catch one of those doozies someday.
