Trying something new.
At this moment (while I type, not while you read... I hope) I am sitting in the local coffee shop utilizing their free wireless Internet connection. I've met with a few volunteers, had a wonderful Berry Blast Smoothie (no I do not drink coffee, I just like the place) and am enjoying the atmosphere. Having a friend who works here is pretty nice too since I never see her otherwise.
This place is my new "office" of sorts. Heck the shop's owner seemed kinda happy to have me hang out here and was real chatty when I asked him what the password was to log in here. Too bad he's married, he's pretty cute.
The local theatre/media personality is in the booth behind me. He's okay in a pompous self-important sort of way. He's always amusing to talk to at least. The affectation of always wearing black is a little much but hey... everybody's got their quirks.
Looking at a four day weekend thanks to the floating holiday being tagged onto the 4th of July this year. Should be nice weather for the most part but five will get you ten it will rain on Tuesday while we're trying to watch the fireworks. It generally does. When it isn't too hot to breathe that is.
Speaking of the 4th the local symphony will not be playing along with the fireworks this year. Since they never have been able to get in synch (to my mind the guys with the fuse should be trying to synch up with the music not vice versa) they have been replaced by a recording. They will still play but not as part of the main event. I've never heard of the local media "firing" a symphony before but this is small town America so what the heck do I know? Every day I find new reasons to realize that I am not a small town person. Some days I think I am on the wrong planet let alone in the wrong town/state.
Well that's all for this roving reporter/blogger today. Gotta hit the road and start the weekend. Right after I see the shrink and get the groceries.
