east coast hospitality?
dear friends,
sitting in the communal kitchen of our motel wing chatting with...no, more like antagonizing...some of the other denizens of our little community, i realize how much that growing up on the east coast as a new england blue blood has really jaded me for the niceties in life.
my friends are from the midwest and when i answer their questions bluntly (and honestly) they can be taken aback a bit.
of course this could have something to do with the fact that i haven't had coffee today and yesterday i had two large (whilst i'm not talking Bess Eaton TANK-sized cups....they were still large enough to do the trick) [if you remember the TANK, say "heyyyyy"] coffees, fully caffeinated. they must be the things that puts the 'filters' on my thought processes from neuron to spoken word, cuz today those filters are gone today.
i've told them a couple times that it isn't that i'm a negative, hating person, it's just that, as an eastern new englander, we will generally let you know what we feel....especially if we're deprived of caffeine.
with my love,
jed
