“Young men!” Casanova, the waiter at El Coyote, shouts out as my father and I enter the dining area. He greets us like this every time we eat there. We’ve been eating there for years now. While I’m sure he greets many, if not all his male customers in this manner, it still feels genuine and I can’t help but laugh and smile when I hear it. His zest for life is contagious. Casanova truly seems happy to be alive and enjoying every minute of it to the fullest. If I were in his position, hustling all day on his feet, I don’t know if I’d be quite so cheery and upbeat. Hell, I often bitch about sitting in a comfy chair at my desk all day and doing paperwork, let alone running scalding plates of carnitas to ravenous customers. Life is often about perspective. It’s easy to take life for granted. To forget just how fortunate we are to be here now. Limitless possibilities available to us. Each day, providing us some new experience. Luckily we have people like Casanova to remind us.
