I suppose that for about four years now, I have been going to this little Mexican place during lunch. I had been going there with a co-worker or two until recently. Because of work projects, holidays, vacations and tons of other reasons, I found myself going alone on occasion.
This is not a bad thing at all for you see, when I worked for myself back 'in the day', I'd cozy up to some lunch counter with a book and read. I didn't know how much I missed reading regularly. Now with my Kindle app on my iPad, I read a lot more now than I think I did then.
Back to the restaurant. I seem to think I go there more than I should. I am on a first name basis with my usual waiter Mario. He knows my order; a sweet tea, no lemon with a lunch number five. When I don't sit in his section, he makes sure he tells the others. They will give me a friendly smile then ask me in their best, broken English, "Sweet tea, number fibe Mr. Da-beed?"
