Tuesday

a starbucks homecoming

It was nearing the end of the second day I had been home.  I had been gone for a full week.
The two of us walked to Starbucks.  We met another friend.  Bear hugs were exchanged.
We chose a table, just the two of us.
For the next two hours we covered it all.  Friends, children, siblings, homework, saline, gingerbread, and elephant seals.  We groaned, laughed, rolled our eyes, and received text messages.
After mulling over the problems of our small world we determined that we could solve none of them.  After some thought we decided that the Christmas blend would not be improved by the addition of mistletoe.  After two hours we still had so much to say.
