Included in today’s installment: How shy people hide in public, and why I wish you wouldn’t do play-by-play on my groceries. It’s Freudian and Scandinavian and some other things. In the Roughneck Reflection Mike discusses hiding in public and why even though he’s happiest alone in his little room above the garage, he’s looking forward to standing in front of a whole bunch of people.

P.S. Boiled dinner can also be a point of cultural commonality.
