kalamata olives

Overcoming tremendous adversity
so early
on a Monday
He forgot his sausage patty

I can’t believe I did that. Now I have to go all the way back down to the cafeteria and explain myself. I take such care to make sure the hot food stays hot. I have a routine. I pay first, set up the bagels, get my coffee and juice, and then the sausage. But today I forgot my sausage patty.  (actual law firm employee on elevator yesterday holding his tray of food) After I heard his amazing tale of hardship and perseverance, my own troubles were really put in perspective.

brown paper economic stimulus packages tied up with string, these are few of my favorite things. Go with your gut, she said. I went with my gut, I said.  The whole thing seemed like a good idea at the time. But halfway into a humongous humus platter I’m out of pita and the kalamata pits are pissing me off.  Now here I am feeling funky with a lingering aftertaste and horrible breath. Do what you love. Do it for a living and you might not love it so much. Go to your special place. Go there for work and it’s no longer special. Do what you want to do. Do it because someone else wants you to and and and you know what I’m saying.

the skunk was coming towards me

10-4. It's a win win win situation...except for the lady that lost that Burberry Shawl. It was like trading Shawn Alexander.

I guess so, but would Shawn carefully cradle your beer and protect it from the elements while doing it all in such style? I don't think so, he'd likely tell you all about Jesus and how he wants you not to drink. Then you'd bring up the whole water into wine scenario and he'd tackle you. Where's my beer?
