Sorry about that last post. I just needed to remind… well, remind myself mostly, that I’m a positive guy even if I seem to be ranting a lot. Ranting comes easily for me, and I do it frequently, but I rarely go on and on about good things. Some examples-
Yesterday my express bus broke down right as we got downtown and I had to get out and hoof it to work. I whined about it, but I didn’t rave about how nice it was outside in SF yesterday morning and how good I felt taking a bit of a walk in the morning. Today I wrote a tweet about how every morning people whine about the coffee at work and lately some of them have been pouring the whole pot out if they think it’s too strong instead of just watering down their mug (I’ve whined about this before). But of course I didn’t rave about how yesterday I pulled a great shot of espresso before I left for work. It was so damn good too. I was really excited to have brunch with Angie on Saturday even though the place we went to sucked. I noticed things they did with the food that I said, “Cappy would fire someone for doing that.”* But when people asked how brunch was, I mentioned that story first, not how awesome it was to be hanging out with everyone’s favorite Georgian first and that’s just wrong. *I’m thinking about writing a longer restaurant post about things one should do vs shouldn’t do as a cook. But I have to remember to keep it positive. This brunch experience would be a good start to that.
