Coffee Time

Coffee Time

It's not on the periodic table but one of the basic elements in my world is coffee. For me, a day without coffee is like a day without, um, well, not so good of a day. Yes, I have had days without coffee (my first 7300 days at least) but... that's not true.

I was 17 or 18 when I had my first sip of coffee. This was the first time I was ever seduced. I was in Homer, Alaska on a field trip and this girl I had been lusting after made herself a cup of coffee at the airport when we were getting ready to fly home. She offered me a sip. I took it. "Is it good," she asked? I nodded yes. "Do you know why?" I shook my head no. "Because my lips were on it." She had me at "Is it good?" But I digress.

Coffee is daily in my existence now. This is my "Ode to Coffee." It's coffee time. Now go out and get yourself some.
