Interviewed Again

I'm beginning to think that I may be one of the most interviewed people in Bloomington-Normal. A nice Pantagraph reporter interviewed me back in June about the Jamani Java concept. That article came out in the paper a few weeks before we opened. Then in October another nice Pantagraph reporter interviewed me about my views on the election. That came out just before the election and my picture was even on the front page. Lots of people brought me the paper just in case I didn't see it. I have a lot of those papers. Last week, a nice young Pantagraph reporter, not the same as either one before, called me at the shop and interviewed me about the current economic condition and how it impacts small business. I don't know when that article will be published, but I can't wait to see what I said.

I'm not sure why I get interviewed so much. While I'm no intellectual slouch, neither am I a braniac so I don't think I am in demand for my wisdom beyond years. My wife thinks its because I'm so easy to talk to. That might be. That might also explain why I get into so many little conversations at the coffee shop. I love talking to people about nothing. In fact, in about a week or so, that's going to be my full-time job. Joe is graduating with honors from ISU and taking over the coffee operations so that I can smooze with the customers, bus and clean tables, and be an all-round easy to talk to guy.

I can't wait.
