Welcome to High-GoodBye Coffee Retirement was on the Menu for Shorty! This past Saturday, we were closed for a private party. Shorty, our short order cook retired after 40 years! He started, fresh out of High School and leaves us, with a heavy wallet. We had his hat bronzed and presented it to him. Our pal the exhaust fan, left him....along with the whole crowd, all choked up! All the best to you, Shorty!
Well Joe I couldn't remember where I left my glasses so I couldn't read the fine print. No worries about me burning the place down, arson is not one of my skills, I prefer 60% dynamite, implosion or explosion, both on my resume. Be that as it may, I took the door off in a professional manner and replaced it on my way out and that miniature doberman nearly had a nervous breakdown waiting for me to pet it. Cafe greeter, yes, but guard dog it is not! Lovely pup but a bit lonely I must say. I used the key this morning and Killer was excited to see me. So here I am using the cafe internet connection, sipping a cup of old Joe, while Killer keeps up on fake news.
Jeff was a retired Casino doberman, when he came to work for us. If I hadn't briefed him on hurricane Faye's early visit, it may have been a different story.
Hurricane Faye ... oh, stop it Joe, you are making me blush. Ssssh! Jeff was my casino partner. I could read the cards because they reflected off his glasses onto the inside of mine. No one ever suspected why he sat with his back to the table.
30 years ago Frank, but not today. Somethings are best left packaged. Mystery is intriguing, but discovery can be devastatingly disappointing.
On the first of October we got a letter from our landlord that our lease ends at the end of the year, and will not be renewed. Rumors have been flying around for some time. Earl, who manages the AARP next door heard the whole block would be affected. Yesterday, we learned that The Golden Destiny Ventures Group, has plans to build a Senior Citizen Casino (Run by retired Casino workers, living on site). Jeff's ears perked up at hearing that! So not sure whats in the cards for the future of the "High-GoodBye". Maybe it will mean Good-bye. More on that later, gotta unclog the drain in the prep sink. Good timing for Shorty!
The"Owner" of the Falcon Electronic Jukebox Company, Paul Falcon, has passed along a link to Paul's Jukebox, that you can save and keep as a favorite or on your Bookmark Bar, so you can find and play a favorite song, from the selections of hundreds! On that rare occasion, when you can't make it down to the "HI-Goodbye", just click on Paul's Video Jukebox, and play some tunes! Thanks, Paul!
@Faye Fox Nah, once again! No amount of corseting, tying, bundling, or the like can successfully hide the existence of soft, natural curviness.........damn, now I blush! Ah, to be young and aloof, again! Frank
@Joe Riley @Joe Riley "Hurricane Faye" ... It is starting to grow on me. I was telling Zek about my new nickname and he says, "well someone really has you pegged."
Just drinking my coffee this morning and thinking of my 1980's windsurfing days. "Hurricane Faye", I love it! Thanks @Joe Riley , it really does sum up my adult life. Soon to reach category 6.9 so watch out!
