I love breakfast food. I love restaurants that serve me breakfast food. And while I love them all, I have a particular fondness for MY Denny's.The Denny's I go to is special. They are very nice, they keep my coffee full, and they always forget the lemon for my water. I like to go at certain times, like:
A. After I go to the library.
B. After I "run" at Manassas Battlefield. "Running" makes me very hungry.
C. When I feel like sitting somewhere and writing about things like....Denny's.
In other words, I'm usually there late afternoon, when it's not terribly busy. Now, I don't go every day,( for real ), but I have noticed that this particular Denny's has quite a few regulars. I've also noticed that you can hear some pretty interesting discussions at Denny's.
On one particular day, I got to sit in the middle of TWO good convos. YES! These were really interesting. To start, the guy sitting behind me was there with his mother. I know this because he told every server that passed. He also invited every server that passed to his wedding on Saturday. Amazingly, they ALL work seven days a week, and, unfortunately, were unable to attend :( See, this guy had married his wife at the courthouse, but they were doing the church thing on Saturday. AND, she does not speak one bit of English! Isn't that amazing??? But don't worry, they can still communicate. His mother was amazed.
Now, it was obvious that these servers knew the guy. They all came up to say hello to him and his mother. But....
It got better when his wife called. He let everyone know that his wife was on the phone, and then got up and wandered around the restaurant saying, "mi eposa, mi eposa", into the phone, over and over. I wonder where she's from? I don't really want to speculate how this whole thing came about, but....
Now the other good conversation was two booths in front of me. This one was a bit more sombre in tone. The lady got there first. Then a gentleman showed up. Of course I'm nosy, so I eavesdropped. So glad I did :-P
APPARENTLY, this woman was having issues with a co-worker. Or, from what I could gather, the co-worker was having issues with HER. Ohhhhh yeeeeaaaah. Juicy. Now, I'm sorry to inform you that I didn't get all the details, but I can tell you that this chick was de-fens-IVE. And all I have to say is that you KNOW you are in trouble when you get a talking to at a Denny's, and not the office. I wonder who picked up the tab?
I'll keep you up-to-date on what goes on in Dennysland. I just know it will be good.
