"Naturally, the mommys formed a coalition, a mommy mafia, to force me into silence. Bah. I'll be silent when their kids are."
"So she turned to me with this kitten and asks "Do you like cats?" I do, but I wasn't about to tell her that--one should never give information to the enemy. I said "What's it to you?" and then she pushed the cat into my hands and ran out the elevator."

Two questions you ask this character if you sat and had coffee with him/her.
Firstly, I don't think your character would sit down with anyone to have coffee much less answer questions.
Secondly, do you like eggs and sausage or eggs and bacon with your coffee? Because that is about the only question I could think of that would not be scowled upon.
Suggest something for the next blog.
Perhaps the old, irascible cook--who you should name--is the only one you feel like having conversations with.

"You know that feeling, when you hear about a death, when you realize that life isn't forever? That you'll die too at some point? That's kind of what was going through my head today. I was thinking to myself while sitting at my desk. Thinking about Mr. Evans. "
"Well, you know how you have to give your name to the barista to write on the cup? Well, I said my name was Jack because Bret is hard to spell for some people. Guess who that barista was. Welcome to my life I guess."
