what he would do next
He ended up ordering a blackย
coffee
. That was what he had begun the tale with. Before all the lattes andย
cappuccino
s. It had been black coffee he started with. He liked the idea of it. Pure. Enjoyable. No complications.
That's what he needed in his life now. To...

Bodyguard
When people find out I'm aย
bodyguard
they are surprised. They expect a bodyguard to be 6'5 270 pounds or something, but that's not always the case. I mean I have coworkers who are that size or even larger, but those kind of bodyguards act as more of a signal...

Dental UV lamps
He helpedย
dentists
become more effective. That was what he did, though others called him some kind of consultant title, but seeing as he didn't like being associated with
consultants
, he chose not to take on that title openly. Instead he preferred to tell people that he helped dentists.

Hungry Car
Myย
Hyundai
has about 132,000ย
miles
on it. Given itsย
MPG
around 23 in the city and 30 on the highway and my driving patterns, I estimate that this car has now burned roughly 5500
gallons
of
gasoline

That's a lot of gas! And calculating by the average price...

Wrinkle
They lived in a wrinkle ofย
history

They boughtย coffee and walked around big cities wearing photographer's pants, and the only thing they needed to worry about was stocking 12 grand a year into...

The City I
The drive toย

took over an hour.
But it was worth taking every weekend as soon as I got my driver's license .
I couldn't even imagine what I was spending my weekends doing before I got that thing. Probably watching a lot ofย TV , we didn't have smart...

Taxes and Peanuts
When I started at Stimson Co. they were still doing much of their
bookkeeping
on paper. Literal paper, with pen, and I don't say that as a knock on
excel
or anything, they were literally writing down numbers using ink pen onto pieces of paper. Granted they used those

Soup Kitchen
My mom used to take meย
downtown
everyย
Saturday
, a forty minute drive, so that I could volunteer with her at aย
soup kitchen
. She told me it was good for building my character, but she also knew that my dad needed a break at least one day...

Old man tries to keep up with young Alex
Hisย
apprentice
excited him, but made him feel a little bit uncomfortable.
Each morning he'd go downstairs to see young Alex already eager to tackle the day. He wasn't sure what his apprentice's morning routine consisted of but he was sure that there was some intenseย exercise there and someย notebooking...

Reaching out | No existential loose threads
Reaching out is key.
Paul, can I tell you something?
Yeah, course. Just don't call me Paul.

Shadow | Wanderlust
Her back was to the windows with the blinds open so that theย
shadow
made her face black.
