"Doing all the little tricky things it takes to grow up, step by step, into an anxious and unsettling world."

A guy walks in, orders a cup o' joe, ruins it with an unsettling ratio of sugar to coffee, and I figure like most other customers he'll walk right back out the door. It's been steadily busy with customers filtering in and out, that is until this moment; the flow of customers stopped, so I finally managed to get everything stocked, ground the coffee for the next morning, cleaned up all the counter space... the first time all day I could breathe.

But out of the corner of my eye, there sits said guy at the bar, asking for more refills with a growing pile of empty sugar packets in front of him. I should have figured after he drank the entire pot of coffee what was coming: the 3-N combination.

Napkin - Name - Number

I called. (I apologize for the complete lack of details which I know is deemed necessary for a blog entry, but that's all I'm allowing you to know. At least for now)

Now let's talk football. Everyone was excited over the weekend because the Towns County High School football team won 2 games in a row; the first time in 4 years I think they said.

And how 'bout opening day for the NFL? I forgot just how much I missed it. I watched the Jets/Dolphins game, because I'd rather watch Brett Favre play than the Falcons(even though he's wearing the wrong color green), although I better get used to seeing the birds since I don't have much of a choice. And of course I caught the mnf double header. Rodgers and the Pack looked pretty good out there... am I right?
