I had to eat a few bites of a breakfast burrito with guacamole to be polite. Guacamole is one of the worst substances on earth, and it's currently taking massive willpower not to hurl

Speranza's birthday is coming up and she's turing the big 5-0. Now I need to figure out how to celebrate a distinctly unheated and non-waterproof sports car in early February. (Her tag lists her as February '76 but her serial number is 203, so I say February 3rd)

Leela in downtown Denver, a victim of Covid. 24 hour cafe/bar with unreasonably good and inexpensive food. A safe haven for all kinds of people, a warm light for city kids in the night. A sandwich and endless cups of black Lavazza coffee saved me many times. I still mourn the place
