Pre-Gathering Reverie July 11, 2008

Good afternoon, Netizens…

(Sung to the tune of “When the Moon Shines Over the Cow Shed” AKA K-K-Katie…

It’s another Friday, a wonderful Friday,
It’s the bestest kind of day I’ll ever have.
Because my work’s done, yes all my work’s done
And now I have time to meet all my friends at the Gathering…

Yes, it’s Friday, and incredibly enough, the real work, the kind that pays the bills, is done, leaving me ample time to attend our 3:00 o’clock Gathering at Frankie Doodles. In the Grand Ballroom, the barrista of the day, Fierro, is serving our daily blend of espresso, something dubiously called, “Foam and Water” purported by our barrista, to ease whatever fires are ailing you. As he slides a cup of his mysterious-looking blend my way, he smiles in his enigmatic way and unctuously comments, “It’s been a week and then some, huh?”
