`` Jackson?'' I thought, `` this ca n't be happening'' with a sweeping smile across my face. Jackson and I go way back, across darkness we usually touch base but today there he is, all clever and what not, standing to the side of a herd of mixed aged gentlemen at the bagel counter in 
 my local deli. 
 
 It should n't be all that surprising being that Jackson is indeed an old, old friend who ticks like a grandfather clock: stoic and with reason. 
 Assuring. 
 
 Jackson grabs his brown-bagged bagel, twisted together at it's apex to allow perfect bagel transportation. In a fluid manner he lifts his steaming Morning roast, steaming even through just the small drinking hole. He slips out the door. There is not much to be done as I have paid and now, ignorant to the outside world, I stand anxiously in line. I need to start getting up earlier.
