The highlight of my day today was being “Customer of the Week” at my local coffee shop at which I regularly attend. I felt so proud of this achievement, especially since I ruffled more than a few feathers by insisting that my homeless friend Ryan be allowed a drink in this establishment late last year. I was to get free drinks for the whole week…
Until I was informed that the New Manager had now canceled the customer of the week policy and it would not be re-instated until October. Bugger.
Talking about taking a gift from right under my nose, I was customer of the week for less five minutes, some sort of record I am sure.
Speaking of my buddy Ryan, I saw him again today for the first time in months, looking a little worse for wear. It’s a perpetual recession if you are living on the streets in LA.
