The first grocery store we walked into became our Santa Fe favorite. The same goes for the first hardware store, first pharmacy, first dry cleaner, first coffee shop — and our first Plaza Cafe breakfast. We’re a married couple in sync with our daily life choices. We’re good at making decisions. And then New Mexico made us choose. Yellow, black or turquoise. Oh, the agony. Oh, the indecisiveness. Oh, the choice.

I’ve worked hard — well, above average — since age 13. That’s when I landed a sweet job bagging groceries at the base commissary in Grant Heights Housing Area in Tokyo. It was an all-tips gig, so I learned how to be charming, make small talk and thank customers graciously, especially those who paid with folding greens. I had a variety of jobs as a teen, from summer park aide to kitchen prep.

Their chaperones were just as cheerful — although clearly more winded — trying to shepherd the children toward the Plaza.

Everyone calls or emails. Everyone wants at least 30 minutes. Everyone knows your first impression matters more than theirs. For Seinfeld rerun fans, the first month for a new editor feels like Festivus. That’s why I do a bit of sleuthing instead of giving a quick yes to a spontaneous professional meetup. Rerun reality often meets deja vu all over again, where a seemingly pleasant person goes full Frank Costanza, turning social niceties into a shouting lecture on how I need to improve the newspaper.
