as soon as i declared so loudly how great my coffee was, that i doomed myself to never really knowing what I was drinking.

i went and checked my roasting log, and of course i was drinking a leftovers blend: a bunch of different beans left over from other roasts, mixed together then roasted. i recall that most of them were central/southern american and only one was african, but otherwise, I have no clue.

good coffee, like good life, is fleeting and impossible to reproduce.

i am thankful for family, of course. family are the friends you get for free but shouldn't take for granted.

i can have everything i want in life, as long as everything i want in life is to wake up next to my beautiful loving wife and go for a wonderful run in the mind-blowingly excellent california weather.

what is steel, compared to the hand that wields it?

though physical activity has been the cornerstone of my life for a decade now, i still view it as a recent introduction, and am constantly amazed at the bliss i can generate just by moving quickly through my environment.

the sun and the movement of my feet are the cures to all that ails me.

... and it sounds pretty good! long time, no see...

a tragedy.

sorry i haven't been posting lately. too busy loving life.

and visiting missouri.

the funny part is that while hops immediately got why this was funny, and while everyone on reddit said "wait, isn't that all women?" the original artist thought only his schizophrenic wife has this habit...
