Phoenix Urinal

In Lakewood Ohio there is a little cafe' called "The Phoenix Coffee House" (on Detroit Ave.). Inside the men’s room urinal was this sticker of G.W. and it made me think. You talk about free speech, the sentiments expressed on the urinal wall happened to be literally and metaphorically true - at the same time. I was peeing on him and in many ways, metaphorically, he is peeing on me. I wondered what he would think if he saw or heard this sticker was possibly on countless urinals across the country. I mean, how do you bring it up at the dinner table?

I went to 'The Phoenix' over the weekend because they had free wireless Internet access and I needed to access my e-mail away from the 'Tree-House' in Columbus. The bigger corporate place across the street wanted to charge $4.50 for every three hours. I'm sorry, but I’m already paying as much for my Grande' Soy Latte'.

When I' am in Lakewood, I'll give these guys my biz.

Good coffee too.

Coffee in any language is good.
