Dear Sports Car Driver Guy, It was one of those moments when I set aside my "I only drink coffee from independent coffeehouses" cappuccino connoisseur hat and pulled into the drive-thru at Starbucks Dogs in the back of the station wagon ready for our morning hike I pulled in for a little they call it tall foamy vanilla latte then almost pulled right out poorly planned parking lot cars all mashed in a line some stuck in their spots until some other drive-thru caffeine fiend budged You were parked trying to reverse and, I thought, leave. So I reversed, freeing up some car claustrophobia making space for you but instead you pulled into the line right in front of me. I didn't care, I totally didn't care, and for a second I wondered why until I remembered I was headed for a hike with my two marvelous dogs I have a baby growing inside my healthy womb I have a world class partner and our town has a phenomenal farmer's market and my family and friends really, really love me and even when I'm broke I feel rich in the most important ways what on Earth was there to be bothered about? You revved up your sporty engine every time you advanced in the line. I snickered and pulled out my ATM card knowing even when I'm low on dough, it is always worth spending my last few bucks on coffee. The perky girl at the window handed me my coffee with a lid, which I removed as I always do I can't stand plastic between me and my coffee and as you zoomed away she said "The guy in front of you bought your drink today." originally posted on 16 October 2012
