cable guy + coffee

So, we finally got high speed internet access. it was a deal. first six months, $29.95 or something like that. we are so darn modern! cable guy was polite, smooth, and lovely. wiped off workboots prior to entering. explained everything clearly and with great enthusiasm and respect. offered him broken wings of aloe plant, packaged in snack size ziplock bag; discussed the healing properties of arnica gel (his shoulder was hurting). offered cup of coffee, he accepted. sugar, no milk. discussed health, eating habits, what he used to eat in jamaica, what he eats now. wound up doing a short therapy session – he has suffered many losses recently. he was luminous. it was lovely. the coffee i made turned out exceedingly well. it was half regular (nica) and half decaf (french roast). a nice mixture. i love coffee.
