And now for something completely different...
While at the grocery store, der Brucer and I were greeted by Rob, who used to be the manager of Cafe Zeus here in RB. Rob has been away for about eight weeks, attending (get this) Butler school somewhere in Colorado.
It turns out that he not only topped his class, but he topped every class the school has had since it opened nearly thirty years ago! They've had to re-write the book on how to score their students, simply because he out-did the previous book on every level.
This didn't really surprise der B or myself, because his background does include military and police experience. These aren't bad things to have in one's background in these security-concious days.
The bad news was that he, like me, was looking for mint, which was not to be found at the store we were in. So we all had to head to another store further up the road.
