Happy Halloween!

Rory, you must think that Halloween is the most perfect holiday ever - not only do you get to go up and knock on everyone's door in the whole neighborhood and say hello, but they give you CANDY, too! Lots of it! In your world, I can't imagine that it gets any better than this!

You were definitely the cutest little cowboy in town...

The 16th Anniversary of My 16th Birthday

Happy 32nd birthday to me!

Sorry for the lack of posting... I'm making some changes in my life that should allow for more time to write, so just bear with me for now...

Don't Let The Lingo Get You Down

So I'm taking this guy's order at the Mother of All Coffee Houses and he asks for a double espresso. "Okay," I say, "one doppio coming up." I look up from writing his order on his cup and I see this strange look of anger on his face.

HIM: What did you just call me?
ME (horrified!): Oh no, sir! That's what we call a double espresso. A doppio.
HIM: A dope?
ME: No, A DOPPIO... you know, it's Italian.
HIM: Whatever.

Ugh, what a DOPPIO!
