The Coffee Shop

During the late 1970s, quite a few groups held events in the Bay Area. To help these groups schedule events without interfering with other groups, we used to meet once a month at Sinbad's restaurant on the waterfront in San Francisco. we called ourselves "The Bay Area Information Exchange."

We had one person who lived in Daly City. They would take the bus or Bart to get to the event, and I would often drive them home to Daly City. We often stopped at the Lyon's Restaurant just off Highway 280 for coffee and time together.

On one Sunday, about six or eight of us stopped in. Candy and I sat at the head of the table. She was wearing a short white dress topped with a bright red leather collar that I had made myself.

The restaurant was moderately busy, but our waitress was attentive and efficient. About the second or third time sheen refilled my coffee cup, she put my coffee cup on the table beyond my reach and with the handle pointed away from me.

The restaurant traffic had slowed down her next pass, and I made a point to pull her aside to talk to her. I jokingly told her that I was glad she had mistakenly placed my coffee cup in the wrong position. When she asked why I said that, I told her I had had a long day and was tired. After all, if Candy had made that mistake, I would have had to spend the afternoon giving her a spanking. She snapped to rigid attention, looked me straight in the eye, turned, and walked away. Needless to say, the guests at my table all laughed about her judgment and moves. She brought the coffee pot back, filled my cup, ensured the handle was turned away, and said, "I get off at 10 o'clock."

Candy and I returned to the coffee shop at 10 o'clock. The three of us went to a local Lounge where we could talk.

The following weekend, the three of us spent the entire weekend learning how to serve coffee properly.

I do not think she was there for the classes.
