i love the feel of the thick bundle that is the sunday paper. i love the feel of a hot beverage in my hands, even if all it is is empty calories (140 to be exact--hold the whip!). i love how a sunday morning feels like the first day of the rest of my life. people around me are earnestly enjoying their last carefree morning before the work week begins, and i think everyone is just more patient and thoughtful in general. i am optimistic i am inspired and i am game for love. if you are a stalky, bald, sheepish man out there, i suggest you stop by the starbucks on manhattan ave. because even your worst pick-up line may just just work on me.
anyhow, the news is rich today--as i say--and i feel like every sunday morning at least one article strikes a chord with me. so i think i will start a new habit of making a point to share them with you. the one i found today is a little obscure...it's titled, "the ultimate test kitchen". straight from left field, you may be thinking...but trust me, it's relatable. the guy who is featured, brad metzger, is a restaurant recruiter in santa monica. he built this incredible kitchen in his own home so that top chefs and prospective employers could come together in a professional yet still casual setting. genius. in a time when management positions are being cut, this guy decides to become the much needed middleman. what i admire about him is how he passed up opportunities that others would kill for because he knew what kind of a person he was and what he was after. he passed up the cornell university school of administration to move back to l.a. and wait tables. he closed his first deal while on the phone in the employee restroom of one of his restaurants. i just love reading these types of stories.
