notes from the 'bou

I love Saturday's at Caribou Coffee ..... while it's always a relaxing place to be, Saturdays seem to be even more laid back.

Today, I have arrived.....the woman who works the espresso machine finally knows my name and I hers. My friend Rocky has asked a number of times, "do they know your name yet?" Now, I can answer with a resounding, "yes!"

Anyhow, the reason for this note from the 'bou is to document the short attention span winner of the week. A guy who is in here quite frequently is sitting a few tables from me watching a movie on his laptop AND reading a book......now, I am not sure how that works, but he seems to have it down. I keep trying to figure out what the movie is. It looks like some sort of science fiction film, and he is reading a science fiction paperback - so at least he is staying within genre.

I can't say much about my own attention span. For every 20 min I am studying, I am on the computer for 10.....

I also ran into Dave (who works for my previous employer) and his wife today. I always enjoy bumping into him. He is quick with a joke and thoroughly enjoyable to speak with. We came up with a new saying and joked about writing it down, for later use. It was a good one, too! Of course, I didn't write it down and now I can't remember it. D'oh!
