seeing things

So I work at a local (as in this state or region) grocery chain. I'm a checker. This same store has a baby starbucks in it. So a coupla years ago, a coupla friends came down from the seattle area. one of them lived here for a while, and was a pioneer in my dad's hall. the one was Kuume, and the other was this chick. So when they were down, we all went to meeting, with some friends from here too. then we drove into town (as in my town, not a hokey farmtown)... big difference... ANYWAY, my point is that we all went to our little baby starbucks, where the friend who lived here, worked at while here... But he was off duty. So yeah. I have fond memories of that day, Daniel, Kuume, Dione and the other chick and I all piling up in my car on a rainy day and driving around. Fun times, them n all their luggage and what not... sleeping cramped piled into my 5th ave... So today, tho, I swear, I saw Daniel like 5 times, only it wasn't him... He lives north again, and last I heard is engaged... He was like my big little brother (coupla years younger than me)... Saw him at the recent Assembly Hall ReDedication.... Wonder how he's doing....

Aaaaahhh... Starbucks. Baby Starbucks. Sharing seats at the little tables on a rainy day.
