(Late) Monkey Monday: many goodbyes edition. 5 August 2008 11:56 pm
Posted by Tracy in : pictures, garden, weird, work, Morning Glory, people, eugene, friends , add a commentI’m posting this super-late on Tuesday, the day of my last Morning Glory paycheck.

Posted by Tracy in : pictures, breakfast, work, Morning Glory, restaurants, news, cooking , 3 commentsOn my way out the door to an opening shift, I realized again that yesterday was a doozy (doozie? no, that’s definitely not spelled right). I got to Morning Glory a little late, so I didn’t really get any of my prep chores started before opening time, and at 7:30 (yes, AM) the phone rang, and I was within arm’s reach:

— “We’re open 7:30 to 3:30 every day.”
“So can I order some food to go?”
