My best friend from high school, Cindy, made my birthday wish of chocolate chips cookies, coffee with cream and smart talk on a porch come true and it was wonderful! I use the term "smart talk," but it's really me just saying things that are kind of, well, dumb. I don't know why I like doing that so much. It makes the people around me feel good about themselves because they sound a lot smarter than me. And that's ok. Maybe they are!

I first got to know Java Jack's about ten years ago when I moved to the big city. My friend, Penny, lived just a few blocks away. Back then, the building was a little more rustic and they had this fabulous deck out back with the ultimate shade tree growing in the middle of it, sporting sparkly little lights.

Java Jack's is a great place to watch dogs and kids. The neighborhood is old and established and there are a charming old hardware store and grocery store kitty-corner from them. It's a place where being unusual and creative is encouraged.

Thank you for making a wish come true, Cindy. Happy birthday to me!
