Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Brandy came over and did children’s church with the kids tonight, so Heidi and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. We stopped at a bar that we go to every now and then. And by bar, we mean the Italian kind of bar with Ice Cream and Coffee, not the American kind of bar. The barista met us at the ice cream counter and said, “Dov’è i vostri figli? Siete liberi oggi?” Where are your kids? Are you free today? We smiled as she dished up our gelato and realized that, for the first time, an Italian recognized us! It was a good feeling.
