Coffee with cream, sugar, and audacity

While shopping at a convenience store about 12 years ago, I saw a customer fill up her coffee cup, breeze past the checkout counter, fling a dollar bill at the cashier, and leave without saying a word.

"I've never seen anyone do that before," I told the cashier.  "That's really presumptuous."

"Yeah," he replied.  "Especially considering that the coffee costs $1.23."

On that note, welcome to my new blog.  My name is Drew, and since September 1, 2014, I've been the author of musicandradiomusings.blogspot.com.  I thought it was time to start a second blog for musings in the back of my mind that aren't specifically about two of my strongest interests, music and the radio business.  I plan to post an eclectic array of memories, thoughts, and non sequiturs that might be out of place on my other blog but are suitable for this broader platform.  At the moment, I have only a vague sense of where the muse will take me.  That makes the journey all the more intriguing to me, though, so check this site tomorrow and in the coming days to see what sharp left turns my mind takes.
