I'd like to head your way, too. I'm opening everyday now to spend more time with the family. So, being here at the same time is easy. Seeing me in action a whole nutha madduh. Mostly comical...

Hey Chris, you have any dealings with Parisi?

Indeed, the beard is mighty. So much so, that it thwarts me in all attempts to shave it. I shall have to try a surprise, side trim to get it off of there but . . . wait, I think it is listening. We must stop this conversation now--It knows what we are thinking.
In all earnestness, I am planning an espresso trip to KC next Friday (the 29th). Will you be working and where might I find you?

Uh...I don't remember what book we were talking about specifically, but I believe it may have been "Uncommon Grounds" by Mark Pendergrast. Great book on the history of coffee. Anyone who reads it will be hard pressed to talk about "Third Wave" as though it's something new.

i don't find that offensive at all. i like the smell of sycamore trees. now if you would have said a dogwood, those would have been fighting words my friend.
