I feel like I’ve been slacking a little bit on my regular posts. I do have a number of additional bird entries to make, but figured I would step back and summarize some observations that I have made over the last week or so. Hopefully, this will hold you over until I get through the pending feathered posts.
For starters, I was the recipient of outstanding service at a downtown establishment last week. Around 9:00am, a coworker and I had a serious craving for some dark chocolate. Typically this is a result of a need to relieve some work stress – nothing like taking a stroll downtown to clear the head and come up with a new approach to a vexing problem. Our destination was a tiny little confectionary shop called the Nut House nestled in between the towering skyscrapers of Peoria IL (okay, if you are familiar with Peoria, you just laughed). So off we went to ruin our teeth. Disappointment soon took over as the shop did not open until 9:30 – Denied! Like kids we were gawking in the window at the chocolate we desired. A lady’s voice startled us from behind and asked if we were looking for something. I recognized her immediately (guilty of chocolate addiction) as the store owner. We mentioned we just came down for some candy, but noticed we were early. Having sat out on Black Fridays before, I’ve been conditioned to be at the mercy of posted hours so I was totally shocked with her response.
