Lather, I have to tell you, those are some of the best coffeehouse names I have ever heard. Really:

Javarium? (Javatory!?)
Mochaordinates?
Shangri-Latte?
Capucchino Monastery?
EspressLane?
Has-Bean?
Sacred Grounds.


Really. Amazing. (My mother used to say I say really" too often. But she has Alzheimers now, and doesn't really know who's saying it.)

I want to call you a genius.

But there's something "given" about that.

And "creative genius", while also true, is a non-creative descriptor if there ever was one. Not very specific, in the complimentary. Not, "He can do his taxes."

So then you're calling someone a creative genius, but you're not being very creative about it. No wonder they're a genius and you're not.

Boy.

So; these are the hazards of trying to do stuff.

I'm waiting for the market to open, and getting impatient. It's giving me the heebie jeebies.

I get them very bad.

Heebie jeebies, as far as I, professional heebie-jeebier, am concerned, are not heebie-jeebies unless they are severe.

Severe enough to be intolerable; to make you jump out of your skin. To make you go get some coffee or alcohol.

To make you scratch at and rub your skin.

Okay?

Huh?
