If the guy sitting at the next table is going to make up a song in real time, shouldn’t he at least do it in tune?

Coffee on a rainy morning and watching the Pats. Not a bad way to start a Sunday. I’ve been a Pats fan since I was 8. … And, yes, there was football when I was 8. … I started being a fan just about the time the Pats drafted Jim Plunkett.

You gotta love a coffeehouse open on New Year’s Day! That makes me caffeinated from Day 1 of 2011. Happy Caffeinated New Year!

It seems a bit early, but college students are meandering back to Stockton … and the coffeehouse. (For those of you who do not know, Stockton not only is home to vast home foreclosures, high rates of poverty, crime, and other things not good for you, and the annual Asparagus Festival, but also home to the University of the Pacific, San Joaquin Delta College, a California State University, Stanislaus satellite campus, a private law school, and several business and vocational schools. So there are quite a few college students to go around.)

OK, should I be freaked out? Two — one, two — Seussian Christmas hats in the coffeehouse. And they are between me and the door. I’m dooooooomed! … I wonder if it’s some sort of lodge hat. And if they’ll slip and do the secret handshake in public.

Smoldering jazz inside the coffeehouse and a man standing outside in a fedora and trench coat. … I think I just sat down into a pulp detective novel. And that’s OK with me as long as no one starts shooting up the place with a gat.

Watching the Patriots stomp the Chicago Bears. I would not have thought the first half would have gone quite like this.

OK, it appears as if the coffeehouse staff is going through Pandora’s entire disco collection. And it’s rather large. Rather large. “… Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight …”

There’s an eclectic music selection at the coffeehouse today.  “Peaches” by the Presidents of the U.S.A. was followed by Johnny Cash’s “Will the Circle be Unbroken.” Now, some disco song is playing. See, eclectic.

Decided to hang out at the library today instead of the coffeehouse and now I’m really missing the caffeine and the peace and quiet. Yes, missing the peace and quiet – two kids plopped down at the desk next to me and have been noisy every since. And a guy at another nearby table is talking loudly in his cell phone. The guard is now cutting him off. I had to turn up Green Day’s “Nimrod” just so I can think.

Crap! Just spilled coffee on myself. That’s like — like — well, it’s like spilling beer. It’s just not done!

I just submitted two applications online during the halftime of the Monday Night Football game. That’s multitasking! … By the way, GO PATS!

I’m doing a little something different tonight. I’m at the coffeehouse watching the Patriots play the Jets on Monday Night Football. Funny, many of the same faces here tonight that are here during the day.

OK, so they’re playing disco music at the coffeehouse today and the two people jamming to it the most are probably the youngest people in the joint. Go figure! Does this mean disco is making a comeback?

They just lighted the propane heater on the coffeehouse patio. That wouldn’t be much of a problem, except the guy who torched it is wearing a Seussian Christmas hat. Something HAS to go wrong.

Probably a short day at the coffeehouse today. I forgot the power cord to the laptop. Grr!

A guy just walked by the coffeehouse wearing a worn hoodie and a makeshift cape. I’m thinkin’ he’s a down-on-his-luck superhero. … And I have no idea what his superpower might be, so don’t ask.

Hmm, the coffeehouse seems to be playing old police-PI TV show theme songs. “SWAT” was earlier, followed shortly by the theme from “Shaft.” Go figure.
