Jonny Cade was pulling at our heartstrings last week not posting his Richmond.com dating blog which had our reader’s wondering what happened.  After Easter Sunday’s Sedaris-esque supermarket trip, he’s back to his online antics in this week’s return.

After flipping through a few profiles and flashing back to his former love, Cade meets up with a coworker at Baja for some warm weather cocktails.  His coworker’s companion looks a lot like Whoopie Goldberg.  When two more of his coworker’s friends join, JC gets preoccupied.

“Why do you keep looking at that guy?” says Giada or Tina.

“He’s beautiful,” I respond. Thad raises his beer, as do Whoopie and her friend. Whoopie makes another comment about the pretty boys. I set my beer onto the table and excuse myself.

Dashing off, I hear Giada and Tina inquiring Thad about me, “Why are you friends with someone who’s gay?” “That’s disgusting.” “Do you fool around together?”

In “Chasing Craig” news, this e-mail was sent to us from Richard:

Jon and I used to work together at a coffee shop in Carytown several years ago.   I won’t say which.

We often opened the store together, arriving at 5:30 or 6 in the morning.

Usually, we were hungover or still drunk from the night before and incoherent, but we always pulled it off. When there was the first customer lull, around 9 or so, we used to duck behind the espresso bar with an empty whipped cream canister and some cartridges. After a few whippets, and our heads feeling like the inside of a tunnel during rush hour traffic, we’d stumble around the dining area until caught off guard by the next customer. At lunchtime, we took turns heading up the street for a beer or a whiskey. Jon really made those long morning hours pass quickly. We had so much fun. We fell out of touch when we both moved out of Richmond.

I plan to look him up the next time I am in Richmond.

Cheers Jon. Keep the mornings and the nights long.

Oh, the life of a barista.  Keepin’ it real Jonny Cake.
