coffeehouse junkie

restaurant hostess: hey, there.
me: afternoon...
restaurant hostess: wanna booth?
me: yes, please... for one.
restaurant hostess: will a booth in the back work? i know you usually sit over there. (sho points to a section just off stage right.)
me: a booth in the back will do.
restaurant hostess: it's always nice to eat at a place where every one knows ya, isn't it?
(i smile & almost make a reference to cheers but stop -- i realize that the hostess was probably born when woody harrelson joined the cast.)
