...AND GOOD FOR YOU TOO, CVS PHARMACY.

"How's it going?"

I asked the barista; one of my favourites.

"Whatcha been up to?"

He looked up, always friendly, always good for a good mini-music conversation:

"Not much, man. I've been going to the gym a lot. I took up smoking, so, you know, gotta make up for that. Just hanging out, listening to music, working out. Pretty chill."

"Okay,"

I said.

"Well...good for you with the exercise thing."

Then he reminded me to check out Seattle singer-songwriter Noah Gundersen, which I will do now.

Live long and prosper, friend.
