I'd say he's perfected a great way to Claytons beg. Where is he?
I'm going out today and don't want to run into him

The way your described the “smiling, rotund” man, I couldn’t help but be taken in with his charm. What a cool encounter although I thought less of this delightful man when he asked for $50 – that’s a little steep for a moment of a “yogi’s” time.

Yes Greenfields, I think it was about the right amount really given the entertainment value .. it's certainly better than the usual line of people in the street "excuse me mate I'm from the country and I don't have money to get a train home"

Well he tried to be manipulative and I could see that he would succeed with some.. but he was entertaining.

Well I wish it was spring LLM but on this side of the world it's the start of Autumn (aka Fall) .. a novena over your head - it sounds like a catholic blitzkrieg!! But it is nice when people offer some kind of positively intended prayer or such a thing (as long as it isn't part of a being preached at experience).

A Yogic experience!
Quite charming and it's great you went along wth it. $5 is just fine!! A litle more than fine.

A very charming story indeed, Rob. I've never had my face read, but once when I went shopping for a table, the lady who owned the furniture shop asked if she could say a Novena over me.
I'm not Catholic, but I let her say it. I always find it very generous when someone (especially a complete stranger)offers to pray over me.
I know...That has nothing to do with your post, does it? Ah, well. Just thought you might enjoy another of my stories.
BTW...Happy first day of Spring!! Keep well Peachy.
