I walked into the hotel cafe just barely a hundred yards away from my house. Climbed the bowed staircase into the open second floor lobby. I walked to the same four-chair, maroon covered table just off-center from being the middle of the room. I waved to the server as I sat down, and received a welcoming smile and a "hello" that were becoming commonplace.
Today, I had a few leftover afternoon tasks that I didn't finish before I left the office, so I came here to work on them.
So I sat down, opened my laptop, and looked up to find the server bringing my tea and a cup of water to the table. He was still wearing his smile from ear to ear. It is always fun to come to a place long enough that they know your order or your name.
Now, I have to add another task to my time here tonight. I have to learn his name.
