So, I am in line at Starbucks and always laugh at the southern-twang…why is it so much heavier and we are literally 15 minutes to Keller?  I mean, most of my clients are “city-folk” that don’t live too far from me…but we’re in a time-warp out here…us country/lake/golf-coursing loving people!  Sorry…so I am in line at Starbucks and I hand the lady my credit card for my $4.33 cup of coffee…yes, I am out of cash (sorry Dave Ramsey!)  I notice her look at my card and I am like…um, yes?  She says, “oh, I have seen your photography!  It’s good stuff…”  So, it’s great that she recognizes my name, from where I have no idea…and it’s even greater that it’s “great stuff…”

Thank you Starbucks lady…you have made my day.
