Thanks to the staff of a certain Dartmouthian coffee dealership for giving me the head’s up when I was in a foul mood and hung over. Your coffee and croissant suggestion was tippy-top and did the trick. I always enjoy your demeanor and chipper disposition. For what it’s worth, if you ever feel under the weather keep in mind that your commonplace kindness can brighten someone’s day, even if it goes unsaid. Good luck. —Ledger Queen
