Ordinarily,in the course of my day I get my papers delivered,come home,have some breakfast and research some websites before crawling into bed for my morning nap. However I have to do something first thing this morning which forestalls my retreat into dreamland. To stay awake long enough to do what I have to takes extra strong coffee. Been drinking it almost as long as I can remember. Never had a latte,cappucino,espresso or any of thise other $5 sissy drinks you get at Starbucks. I just wonder who the first person was who said: if I crush these beans and put them in hot water,I’ll bet it would taste AWESOME!
I know there’s not much chance anybody will see this,but if they do,I hope they get a little smile,at least.
Pete,
The above post is my life story, in a nutshell. And it is beautiful.
I didn’t used to like coffee, then I worked at Starbucks for a year, and I left an addict. Now, there is no civilized-Zophiel until there is Coffee-Drinking-Zophiel . . .

That is so beautiful. I have tears in my eyes right now. Good thing I have this big quart-sized cup of coffee to catch the teardrops. 😀

During finals week, one of my classmates was pouring yet another mug and said ruefully, “It would be easier to just mainline it, dontchathink?”

I haven’t been in school in more than forty years, and I STILL have days when I feel like I need to take coffee intravenously. Of course, I never will, because I love the taste of it too much.

My motto is never trust anyone who doesn’t appreciate the joy of coffee.

This is about whisky instead of coffee, but the addiction part is similar!

I added a few cartoons to your collection, Pete — I hope that’s okay. I probably stole most of them from Chrissy and/or Grunt, but it’s also possible that I stole some of them from you.

We don’t ‘steal’ from friends…we just borrow stuff on a long term basis.

Don’t know what you’re talking about, Pete. I steal stuff from friends all the time. I even steal from enemies when they post something I want to use. I’m kind of not very discriminating that way.
