wide-awake
every morning on the way to work, i stop in at abbot's habit and get myself a large cup of coffee. it's become a little ritual, i park in the red zone right out front, smile and wave good morning the group of haggard gentlemen smoking and talking politics out front, the baristas inside see me coming in and reach for the large cups before i get to the counter for my "usual".
this morning, tired and strung out from a few intense and stressful weeks...i stumbled up to the counter, leaned over and stopped the barista mid-reach and said, "this morning i'll take a large latte. and make it a double."
my favorite coffee-puller grinned and started whistling times they are a-changin'.
