Pick your Poisson

Over thirty people attending a birthday dinner party and I am still able to order something from the menu completely different from everyone else.

God bless you grilled marlin. God bless everyone!

The one (drink) that got away

I tried to give up caffeine a long time ago, with only a few relapses to speak of. Yesterday was one of those moments of weakness. I had drawn the morning shift that day and by mid afternoon I had caught myself falling asleep while on the phone.

Drastic times called for drastic measures. I walked into Starbucks with a purpose. I gave the menu board a glance of habit but I already knew what I wanted that day. I walked up to the counter ready to play my cards, but I chicken out when the chips were down. The gaze of the cute Bartista is all seeing and I lacked the courage that day to reveal my true hearts desire.

As I walked away, frosty beverage in hand, I could only think of one thing: "An Orange Mocha Frappucchino would have tasted so much better!"

Damned right it would. J-j-j-jitterbug!
