falling orders

Pronounce it espresso, not expresso.  Be nice to everyone in the service industry.  Not just polite, but warm.  Fake it if you need to.

Be good to people.

Watch movies with your parents sometimes.  Know that one day you'll want your kids to watch movies with you.  Put those kids in sports but also in art and music.  Don't tell anyone else how to raise their kids.

Invest in good quality.  Vote with your wallet.  Buy local, buy made in Canada, buy real food and well-made clothing and shoes and furniture.

Love your family, if you can.  I'm lucky.

Do the dishes and sweep the floor.

Always look your best.  Perfect sunglasses in the summer and a well-fitted coat in the winter can do wonders for an otherwise boring outfit and unmade up face.  If you're lucky, you get to wear a coat and sunglasses.

Are you over the age of twenty?  Quit drinking sourpuss and quit drinking malibu.  Figure out what you order when you go to the bar and stick with it.  Think of something simple.  Gin and tonic. Rye and ginger.  Snakebite.  Simple is always sophisticated. 

Don't listen to anyone you don't believe in.  Hate what you hate and love what you love.  You're the only one who gets a say in you.

Question everything.
