I Swear to Do the Right Thing for the Energy Committee

This cool weather has brought in so many new customers at the cafe. Our business has never been so great since we opened in March. We still see many folks who set foot in the cafe for the first time. One senior citizen came by with a local theater program he was offering ads in. I bought one for the cafe, and he said this was his first time in…He lives on the street just opposite the cafe. But he doesn’t drink coffee.

We are doing well with the new breakfast sandwiches, maybe it’s because of the farm eggs and those very light textured NY bagels. That’s a relief: figuring out the food for the cafe has been the hardest part of the business.

Today I scootered over to the town hall to get sworn in. I’m on the town of Deerfield’s Energy Resources Committee, and I raised my right hand and Mary Stokarski swore my allegiance to do a good job for the town of Deerfield. Later I glanced inside a storeroom, where on all four sides were leather-bound books denoting deaths, births and other records, going back centuries. The other clerk waved me away and said ‘please go around to the other side of the counter’ when she saw me looking in.
