The Buzz

Enjoyed blueberry and lemon curd stuffed pancakes on the splendid deck overlooking the lush links at The Ridge  Golf Course and chatted up Food/Beverage Manager Mark Harris and dropped into the vibrant pro shop to check out the new inventory.  Headed into town to KAHI radio where I chatted up the avuncular Stewart Schur, he of Dr PC Computer Repair on Highway 49.  Stewart and wife Cristina do a fine job of repairing and servicing computers and Cristina goes to the head of the class with her deft manner of juggling customers on the telephone.  Customer service is the hallmark of this successful business.   Cruised down Lincoln Way and up past the clock tower, crossed the street and was drawn into Marilyn's Fashion-a-tions where a colorful celebration of 30 years in business took place.  Crossed the street and linked up with pal Syl Bruce, she of South West Silver and found myself and Syl back at Marilyn's enjoying the tasty fare supplied by Drooling Dog Bar BQ, Colfax.  Syl couldn't be separated from some sparkly, stretch tops and left them on hold as we crossed back to South West Silver so I could pick out some jewelry accessories--never enough items in this department.  Said goodbye to Syl and headed back to Old Town and stopped in to connect with Court House Coffee owner Linda Lareau who hitched a ride from moi back across Lincoln to Hilda's Bakery which is under new ownership.  Said goodbye to Linda and headed home to check in with email, husband and pets--all on a perfect fall day.
