- Southern Logic – When you order an unsweetened iced tea, the waitress assumes you’re diabetic. Since this is the South, she will stay with you to chat about her daughter, who is diabetic, and how she always tries to make sure people don’t get sweet tea if they can’t have it.
- She was confused when I politely refused the packets of artificial sweeteners she brought with my tea.
- Compartmentalization – The act of segmenting things so that shitstorms within any given compartment don’t leak into the others.
- I’m listening to an audiobook of lectures on 19th century European politics and diplomacy. The professor sounds remarkably like one of my senior managers. It’s a bit disconcerting.
- Happiness is taking your youngest son out for pizza and ice cream after a bad day.

/ July 28, 2014My father, who grew up picking cotton(the original work Americans just wouldn’t do), taught me to drink unsweetened tea. Though I think that might have had more to do with his Scotch nature.

/ July 29, 2014I’m reminded of the day when I was at Ft Devens when I forgot the warning about “regular” coffee in Massasooshits.
I generally prefer coffee black, but sometimes I’ll add cream and sugar. Cream, no sugar is just… weird.
