So I wrote a huge fucking post earlier.  It had links and pictures and quotes...and the damn hell ass Doteasy blog engine ate it.

So here's a quick shout out to the man.

We were at a Walgreen's on Dickerson Rd. in Nashville earlier tonight where we served by a very enthusiastic German night manager.  This guy was on the ball.  He offered us coupons, "cuddled" our beverages (his words, not mine), and ended the transaction with a cheery, "We will not be undersold!"

I noted upon departure that this guy was really into his job.  Chip noted, "Well he's German.  That's how they roll.  Through Poland."

There are some people who build others up instead of tearing them down. These people allow others into their world and make them welcome. They are the very definition of "gracious." These are the people that you remember your whole life ...whether or not you keep in touch with them.

RIP Kris Bristow. I'm sorry that I kept saying, "I need to get back in touch with him sometime."  Time ran out.

Don't let time run out.
