09/17/2005: "I am one with the bean."

As I type I am experiencing the second most frenzied caffiene high I've ever had. I never got too into coffee, but occasionally I like to drink a coffee themed beverage, such as a mocha or a Frappucino. I think that may have changed this morning.

We've received some early wedding gifts that facilitate this change - namely a coffee grinder and a french press. Fortunately a co-worker is a coffee nut and he's taken me under his wing Mr. Miyagi style. This morning, after consulting various manuals and recalling his sage advice, I made a *really* good cup of coffee.

OK, so I made, and drank, three cups of my really good coffee.

I guess the point of this is to say "thanks" to everyone, not for the gifts themselves, but for little moments like this that I associate with the people who gave them. Molly and I are both fairly sentimental people and I can see us discussing who bought us the seemingly mundane utensil that I attribute to making our meals that much better for decades to come.
