Thursday

Record big waves on the shore and record heat in the city on the same day. Judging by our customers it was also the official opening of tattoo season. Everyone was wearing as little as possible and showing off the tats they got during the winter months. Last year I actually tried to figure out the percentage of my workplace’s profit sharing that went to tattoos but almost no one wanted to play along.

I stayed almost an hour after I was off the clock just talking to friends as they came in to shop. They just kept coming. Only uke had an LJ to name check. His brilliant and sassy son was of course disappointed to see me. "Where’s Anarqueso?" he demanded. I shut him up with cheese sample and a piece of a Chocolate Decadence Heart. Which, oddly, was round. And which, I just remembered, I put the remainder of in my pants pocket to keep my hands free, I had wrapped it in cheese plastic, but it is now a Chocolate Decadence Puddle. Oops
