Dr. Robb, the chair of the Philosophy Dept at Davidson, comes into Summit Coffee on a regular basis and orders a large black roast. He moves smoothly but languidly, as if asking his immediate environs "Do I have to move now?.....now?.....now?" He talks in a similar manner. His demeanor and mannerisms are prototypical of a philosophy chair. He teaches Philosophy of Mind.
Alea, who's in the class, informed Dr. Robb that I, her boyfriend, serves him coffee every morning. She also told him that I read more for the class than she does and that she has trouble finding texts and handouts because I misplace them. Allegedly he was impressed when I got excited about a Dan Dennett handout. He told her, "If he brings me coffee he can sit in on class."
Score.
And these guys really have it going on.
