Here’s another drawing from my recent flu shot trip to Kaiser Oakland. This man was standing in the lobby across from the elevators at the Fabiola building. We made eye contact for an extended moment, and I am not sure if his was a gaze of approval or curiosity (wondering, perhaps, how someone with such a young face could have so much gray hair). I do know, however, that he was still staring as I boarded the elevator for the third floor.
