Up in the Morning


About to fill the second cup of coffee. Mate is making sandwiches for today's adventure. The old body will have to chug up the red rock with the little Sylvie in tow.  Last night Sylvie got the bee in her bonnet that she wanted to play waitress. She did an excellent job.  First she instructed us to " Just sit there and enjoy yourself".  Next she brought drinks.  She set the table, made name tags for the plates, cleared the table, and even helped with the dishes.  When Kadizzles kids were little he liked to give them random rewards for doing good deeds.  Sometimes when the kids would bring home a good report card Kadizzle would just say great and give them a hug. Other times they might get five or ten bucks.  It was the old random reward psychology trick.  Kadizzle called the little blond waitress over and gave her a twenty dollar tip.  Her eyes beamed and she continued about her duties.  Perhaps Sylvie will invest the tip in a nice Christmas present for Grandpa.
