Always liked this story and am glad you published it here, again? It's expanded from a version I read I think. The Birthday Man is a neighbor, sort of. His mind is amazing for names and numbers and dates. You certainly captured him just the way I think of him!
we shop at 'The Bisket' for the very same reason. I have a friend who reports about all the music that gets blared over the PA. Mark loved this piece as I read it outloud to him. Anne Lammot has got nothin' on you he says. there were some laugh out loud moments for sure in your fun lines of recollection. and the sketches are fantastic! You are holy too!
Very fine Kate; you're right, there is wonder everywhere
Thanks, Forrest. And yes, we think we know everything when the truth is, we know next to nothing!

Yeah, revised with a few new characters and details. And Birthday Man is your neighbor! He is something!
I love how easily you observe the ordinary and see the extraordinary. What a gift!
Oh, thank you, dear Jean. There certainly is a lot of extraordinary in the ordinary!
