So, plane lands in Manchester, NH this morning, and I head out to the car service stand, I take the first available car and give the driver the address, and ask very nicely for a quick stop at the Dunkin Donuts on the way in from the airport. Reasonable request, heck I'll even buy him a cuppa coffee.

Driver stops at the Dunkin Donuts, I run in and grab 2 dozen donuts, and come back out to the car. Driver turns around and looks at me, and says "you must have a really long list of things that you need from your programmers this week". Ummm, why yes, I do, now I'm totally confused, how the heck would he know my methods, now granted this is the technology corridor, and most folks heading in that direction are working with tech firms, but...

He tells me that he's driven me a few times before, and my usual MO is to stop for donutes for the boys. OK, so I'd imagine that he drives more than one person a month, and well, it's been at least 6 months since I've been to the office, I think it was snowing last time I was up here, he'd remember me? That'd disturbing... my mind flashes thru all the really evil nasty things that must make me memorable... He did get a good tip though... This time...

And Speaking of Coffee
One of the things I was free cycling over the weekend, was a bunch of old coffee mugs from various sets of dishes that I've had over the years, even with all the coffee and tea I drink, I figured that 20 coffee cups was a bit excessive, especially since I only use one cup all the time, and I have a handful of other cups that I've gotten in my travels that I use for company, I didn't need all these old cups, so I got rid of them. Joe, who came to pick them up on Sunday, rang the doorbell, and said he was there to pick up the CAWFEE Cups, really, he said CAWFEE, all the years I have made fun of that accent, I've never quite heard anyone TAWK like that... I had to have him repeat himself just because it amused me so much.
