I woke up at five this morning to take Candyce to the airport. We were both delirious from sleep deprivation, so the 20 minute ride made for some funny conversation.

I am going to miss her. Here I am at a coffee shop and it’s 7:30 PM. Normally I’d rush home and we go hang out. But I’m flying solo for the next month. Her family is taking a big road trip around the north east. Then she’ll spend the rest of the summer at the beach in San Diego.

It’s better this way, I figure. For the next couple months, I am only in town for a few days before being gone again. So I’d rather her be with her family than be alone in Phoenix. I miss her though.

I’ve been sitting at this coffee shop for over an hour. I just came across this place, Mama Javas, this afternoon. I saw they had free airport Internet and couldn’t resist coming back. The coffee is delicious and the vibe is just right. The red neon sign makes the Harley outside the window glow with sexiness. I could sit here all night. I hope this place does well.
