November 6
...serving up your daily dish.
The Barista is tired and, truth be told, a little mopey. We don't know what all those people were doing in Brookdale Park on Friday, and frankly we don't care. Nor do we have an investigative scoop on why the Occupational Center failed to pick up paper recycling in the south end of Glen Ridge.
We're going to take the weekend off. Chances are, nothing monumental will happen. The rakers will rake and the blowers will blow. People will do the normal suburban things they always do: yard sales, parties, Bar Mitzvahs. A few people we know are taking high school juniors off to visit colleges. The Sunday papers, with all the post-election coverage, will be interesting. But not as interesting as last Sunday's papers.
We suggest you check out "I Heart Huckabees" and "Sideways" if you haven't already. And playing cards with your kids is an underrated pleasure.
Have a nice weekend. If you really need a barista, go to Starbucks. See ya Monday.

Hi Debbie. There was a high school track meet at Brookdale Park yesterday. They closed the entrance at Watchung Avenue to allow the runners in. We got stuck in the long line of traffic.

A friend in Hwaii sent me a note this morning to say that a psychic he knows has predicted an 8-something earthquake here in Seattle this evening. The quake will be followed by a 200 foot tsunami.
If those things happen I'll call you before I call the AP.
BTW - do yourself a favor and go see The Incredibles. Come for the action and stay for the fabulousness that is The Edna. The Edna is the movie!

Girl, take the weekend off, in fact take Monday off also (I don't like Monday's), you deserve some time off, to maybe rake some leaves or maybe wake up and smell that delicious coffee. Baristaville last I heard, isn't going anywhere.

Wendy, just because your sitting on your lazy ass doesn't mean she has to.
