MORNING COFFEE
I start most days at a coffee shop with my girl. We get out of the house with enough time to spent 30-60 minutes at one of countless little owner-run coffeehouses. This morning we are at Maxfields, House of Caffeine. One of the best, 'cause it has an open, free, wireless network. Also the hippie-chick behind the counter is playing Enya, dancing around while she practices 'bubblewrap therapy'.

Sitting on a sofa with my best girl next to me, reading while she edits; I'm having one of those "I sure enjoy my life," moments.

TEVAS
The building I'm working in these days was built in the twenties; lots of old tenants, old creaky elevator and heavy wood doors with smoked glass. There should be a private eye in every office.

Riding up the elevator last week a 60-something guy in a three piece suit, turned to the 60-something guy next to him, pointed at my shorts and Teva's and said, "You know, the girl who rubs my feet says we should only wear little sandals like that." They both laughed and got off.

This has stuck with me for a week, because:

1. They referred to me and my feet, without ever actually acknowledging me or even making eye contact,
2. They referred to my 'little sandals'. I wear a damn size 13. He just meant to mock my footwear.
3. "The girl who rubs my feet says..."

DELTA KING
The three reasons I like staying on the 1927 riverboat, The Delta King:

1. When the room is always at a slant, it's fun to act like you couldn't help rolling on top of your "shipmate",
2. It's fun to stand at the front and keep yelling, "By the Mark Twain" until someone asks you if you're a guest at the hotel. (Actually it was, "Can I get you another beer?" - butI know what she meant),
3. Anyone over 6' has to bend to fit in the shower, and seriously crouch to get his head wet.

GLASS DOG
It must be a leap year; Lance posted.

"If there is one thing I know for certain, it's that coffee is a very good thing, indeed.

If there's another thing I know for certain, it's that one's sexual preference is not a choice, otherwise I'd choose to have sex with everyone all the time because, you know, it's sex.

But let me get back to that first point, as much as you may be chomping at the bit to gallop on up here and chime in your agreement about the 'more sex is good' credo."

PLASTICS
Holy crap, Lego Porn is funny.

NAMES
I'm not sure I like the word "fiance". I prefer "fancy."

This is my fancy.
Have you met my fancy?
My fancy and I would be happy to attend.

I think it really classes me up.

Mighty Girl
I had friends hiding in the bushes, sparklers at the ready. I had three sheets sewn together and draped over a 12 foot fence for a screen. I had champagne chilled and the audio/visual equipment set up by faithful, tipsy friends. I assumed the guy in the bushes was with us. (he wasn't)

She said, "yes!"

(I got the scissors away safely)

ACTUAL MAIL
"I am writing because B-may.com is a popular destination for our target audience: pre and post operation transsexuals. We would like to invite you to be our affiliate. An affiliate is someone who places a Zundara banner or text link on their website, and collects a commission on referrals who schedule a procedure."

This is the best spam I have ever received!

CRAP
Interesting things always happen when you have the least amount of time to note them. Things I remember thinking today:

- Was it Burke who said, "The only thing evil needs to flourish is for good men to do nothing"?
- How long can the oil light be on before it does damage?
- I can't believe Cuomo dropped out of the race.
- Is there a difference between platinum and white gold?
- I have no idea whatsoever what my college GPA is. I mean really, none.
- My folks stopped dying today (family code for smoking = they stopped smoking after 40 years. today)
- Was it Jan or Dean that died in that car crash?
- Did I pay rent?
