Coffee Spills

What I hear and see and think about at the coffee shops I patronize.
Brisk. Fresh. Well-balanced. Occasional nutty and bittersweet overtones.

When you see a stranger

While on a walk the other day I noticed a man getting into a car who looked familiar. He stopped to chat--seemed to know me, but I couldn't place him. "So you live here?" he said. Finally, it dawned on me, he's someone I see and talk to regularly at the coffee shop, but out of context I didn't recognize him. He'd dropped off my neighbor whom he'd taken to a doctor's appointment.

    This happens to me every day of my life as I used to WORK in the coffee shop for four years. Once you get them in a different atmosphere and they aren't asking for a tall not fat no foam extra hot latte, I have no clue who they are :)

    But eventually, it dawns on me.
    Glad I'm not alone in this "how the heck do I know you" feeling.
