I may actually have to retract to some of my bad-mouthing from last week, believe it or not.\u00a0 As Donette pointed out, American Airlines was only responsible for 1 of our 2 luggage mishaps, not both.\u00a0 Dang it.\u00a0 And as for the coffee guy??\u00a0 Well, when I went to coffee last Monday, I was very dismayed to find my favorite shop was closed for business.\u00a0 This was very disconcerting, as I’ve developed something of a nice, familiar routine there.\u00a0 Every now and then I give them some money, and then I just walk in and pour a cup of coffee, sit down and read my paper.\u00a0 After some number of weeks, the girl will catch me on my way out and say “You’ve used up your tab” and I give her some more money.\u00a0 It’s a very effective system, and one I’m quite fond of.\u00a0 But, alas, it looked like I was going to have to find coffee elsewhere.\u00a0 So Tuesday, I stopped in at the shop around the corner.\u00a0 There were a few other coffee refugees I recognized from the other shop so I figured it was safe.\u00a0 I passed the girl my cup and said “coffee,” and what happens???\u00a0 She starts peppering me with questions, just like the guy in Spain!!\u00a0 “Do you need room for cream?\u00a0 Would you like a light or dark brew?\u00a0 Iced or hot?”\u00a0 She seemed a bit taken aback when I burst into tears, but I am in no shape for that level of interaction at 7:00 in the morning.\u00a0 So, perhaps the word “coffee” is not quite the internationally recognized, catch-all phrase I thought.\u00a0 Word on the street is that my usual shop is back open this week.\u00a0 I can only hope, because I am tired of making my own every morning and it’s apparent that I’m not quite ready to move on to another location.<\/p>\n
It was a relatively quiet weekend for the Kenagys.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, we did nothing at all.\u00a0 I think we’re still trying to catch up on everything from the long vacation, and besides that I was on-call.\u00a0 Saturday we walked the dogs down to the Brooksider and hung out on the deck for a while, which they seemed to enjoy.\u00a0 In the category of “it’s a small world,” the people sitting at the table next to us recognized us from Seville! \u00a0We’d spoken with them briefly there, (they commented on Chris’ Royals shirt) and it turns out they live right down the street.\u00a0 Wacky.\u00a0 Sunday brought a similarly quiet day;\u00a0 Other than a motorcycle ride out through Overland Park we didn’t do a whole lot.\u00a0 Maybe things will pick back up next weekend.\u00a0 Or maybe not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
