I rarely eat “fast” food and try to make it policy to not eat “food” that comes in a paper bag. Today was an exception.

The past several weeks have been very busy with work (I save the world, one computer at a time) and today was no different. Having not eaten in almost 8 hours and only enough time to scarf something down within minutes, I stopped at the nearest choke-n-puke in site; the Golden Arches Cafe.

My order was simple: coke, fries, and a burger. I paid the latino at the first window and proceeded to the second.

Let’s recap: coke, fries, and a burger.

The latino at the second window handed over the goods and I was off.

After gnawing down the fries, I started to work on the burger. It wasn’t until I was half through with it that I realized it was a chicken sandwich instead of a burger. Oh well, not a big deal. I ate the thing anyway.

I then saw something that made my day.

The receipt listed a coke, fries, and a burger. The bag contained a coke, fries, and a chicken sandwich.

The receipt was attached to the bag with a sticker that read “double-checked for accuracy”.

I was on my way home from delivering computers yesterday and decided to drop by Toys-R-Us. On the way in, I heard my name called from behind me and there stood Lori M., owner of a local business. It was great seeing her again as I’ve not seen her or her husband for a few years. Tom, hope your surgery goes well.

Before leaving, I noticed someone that look familiar. It was none other than fellow Mudbaby and good friend, Kenneth. He was doing some toy shopping for the kids, the oldest now eleven. Are they really getting that old?

I left the store feeling that I’d just been given a true gift. It sure was good seeing them both again.

After having an excellent lunch of bangers and mash at a downtown Irish pub (which was actually moved here from Ireland) we walked over to a coffee shop to go over business notes. Here’s a picture of my double-mocha cappuccino.
