At the Bulldog street window I set down my coffee cup to reach for my wallet. No words were spoken until the barista poured my coffee and said “you’ve got some competition for the most regular-regular. Maybe we’ll take a photo and post it on the wall.”
I smiled and said thankyou.
Which brought to mind the regular-regular status I earned at Bean & Bagel — being so consistent they named a bagel setup after me
“The Mark”
Everything bagel toasted
Cream cheese
Tomato
Hot sauce
It’s like a phantom nostalgia BRASH burger PTSD covid stress dream. That place went out of business, unable to survive the covid lockdown zombie shit show. Sometimes I sit on the steps across the street at Gould and ponder it all retrospectively…
On the beer end of the continuum I’d say I’m not even in the top 30 regular-regulars at Big Time. But right around 3:33 I might be in the top 10.
Same old same old, boring, predictable, invariable, blase you say.
How about dependable, solid, steady and trustworthy.
It’s not that I enjoy drip coffee so so much. It’s that I don’t give it any thought. I don’t want to think about it. Which frees up some bandwidth to think about very important things, like making a list of cat names:
