6:23 PM. Back in the Eurostar lounge which is now my virtual reality. World’s most interesting man complaining to someone about the absence of seat recline buttons on his last Deutsche Bahn train from Frankfurt, but also excited to report that he had steak with carrots because “you can’t really mess up steak.”
6:27 PM. Things would be so much better if everyone pronounced “tariff” like Omar “Sharif”.
6:40 PM. Seat number 1 in carriage 2. Not sure how I feel about this. Don’t totally feel like a winner.
6:59 PM. Yikes everything was great until the Kissinger reference
7:26 PM. Had the good fortune of having the world’s loudest man sit next to me. Seems like his business is in trouble but his associate will be calling clients ASAP. Hoping it all works out.
7:34 PM. What is a father?
7:35 PM. Turns out the world’s loudest people are holding a convention in the Eurostar lounge. Finest loud people from all over the world speaking loudly to each other & their phones.
