Alpha Sandwich
Snuck out of work to do some C shopping with Jarlack, we were also lunch hungry. Decide on trying small italian import store we heard made good sandwiches. Once in we were surrounded by various pasta, olive oils, candies and cookies, spices, etc. Toward the back stood the deli section with salami of different shapes and sizes hanging from the ceiling. I ask about the sandwiches and the antler wearing help says that their Italian sandwiches are made with one whole loaf of bread with alot of meats and cheeses and lettuce and tomato. We split the sandwich and decide to go for the hot peppers, and boy were they! A totally great sandwich experience, will see if rest of staff would like this for lunch this tuesday. The best sandwich I've had for a long time, next time either sweet peppers or none at all.

I didn't want too but the staff convinced me to drink beer and have a few pieces of pizza with them tonight. Christmas shopping will have to wait till tomorrow.

Yes! Why don't you *! Ha!
Day started with early morning coffee and scones with friend who was coming off a twelve hour work shift. We discussed home schooling, Presidential foibles, the Olympia results, his eleven year old son's infatuation with the battleship Bismarck and other things. Later at work Dale wouldn't shut up about his fantasy football team doing so well, I could really give a fuck and wish he would just do his job and shut the fuck up, I had a lot of things on my mind and things that needed to be done, I just found it particularly annoying today. Had a short somewhat unexpected meeting with someone that I had done business with for the past few years but never met in person. The meeting went better than I expected and was able to achieve my desired goals. For many years I had a certain person in mind from what others told me (mostly negative), but found him to be very personable and friendly.
I was very happy with the overall results of that encounter. A very nice customer who remembers us each year with a wonderful tray of Christmas cookies showed up today. I can not begin to tell you how perfect and delicious these cookies are, Martha Stewart would be hard pressed to do better, Good House Keeping magazine cover material here. Currently sipping on coffee liqueur and typing this. Tomorrow, midnight showing of Two Towers with a band of geekatrons, should be well worth it.
