Ripe coffee beans, harvested in the proper time, roasted by hand in the traditonal way, ground to perfection... I can imagine the aroma in the nostrils of my mind...<br /><br />Are you inviting me over for coffee now? Why yes, I accept... If there is coffee in heaven, then I shouldn't wonder if it is your grandmother's Haitian brew!<br /><br />JeremyJeremy W.

I guess you understand).Louis Dauphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14390481660111508539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25921616.post-55267418849280514712009-08-22T08:16:58.775-04:002009-08-22T08:16:58.775-04:00Thanks for the tip about the Tim's tab.

Almost as good as the company!<br /><br />On another note, I also feel I need to retract my statement about Starbuck's lacking "chatter"... I was in a Starbuck's a couple days ago with a former student and the place was packed with friendly visitors chatting away. All is not lost!<br /><br />JerJeremy W.

Quite possibly my most favourite post ever because it is just so you. You failed to rate the coffee at my house. The location is a bit inconvenient, I do concede, but the pottery, price, and personal air should help make it worthwhile. Am I right?<br /><br />Miss you and Laurie tons. Hug those kids for me.<br /><br />(and the trick to keeping the Tim's tab properly held down is to open it right away. The longer you wait before opening it, the softer the lid gets from the steam. And then due to the resulting expansion of the tab clasp, it will not stay shut. Not even kidding.)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152889966270915607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25921616.post-87440308925947221442009-08-18T17:00:20.297-04:002009-08-18T17:00:20.297-04:00Well I wouldn't go that far, Brian...

It is important to make both Tim's and Starbuck's fans feel welcome, no matter how "common" or "snobby" they may be!<br /><br />I do look forward to Starbuck's Sunday morning. You do a fine job.<br /><br />JJJeremy W.

After all the door is held open at our "friendly and familiar" location, as well the "common man" is always welcome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
