Dad in Starbucks…

I got a job a few days ago at Starbucks... I must be getting the hang of the job because I guess I was thinking that things were cool.  I was making a frappuccino and thinking: "This is really cool, should to tell dad. What an odd coincidence that I am on Long Island just after College like he was, I would like to make him a coffee. I wonder if he would like it.... I would really like for him to order a drink and to be behind the bar and make it for him. I am glad to work here for the here and now." I was so in the moment that I forgot that he was not here anymore.... this thought must have only lasted like three seconds. 'Cause I realized just then that he would not be ordering a drink, that opportunity is gone... This is like a shocker. Have you ever woken up from a dream in which you were falling? There is that feeling of weightlessness and then sudden tenseness. Well it is kind of like that but mostly emotional and only partly physical  I wish it weren't so. So I guess I am looking to share some drinks with some other friends.  I was talking to Abigail last night and she mentioned that she had some PNG coffee left in her freezer.  I told her that she should save it (because it is my favorite blend too) and that we should drink it together some time in March 2007.  That is a drink to look forward to.
