    Welcome and Thanks for accepting my invite, I've always loved to just "geek out" on coffee too, playing with various origins and blending for specific flavors. What coffees are you liking now...I'm enjoying a new "Poco Fundo" FT/Org Peaberry from Brasil.

    oregon is cold and rainy but the coffee is always good. i don't venture to the se end of town all too often but haven sounds familiar. i tend to stay in my cozy pocket of north/ne portland and get my espresso at work. i'm craving a bit of sunshine though, and a vacation!

    Hi Fern,

    I just heard that you had contacted me but I haven't seen an email. It could be my email, as it has hiccups every now and then. I am totally open to the training idea, just let me know. My other email is holly.bastin@gmail.com, or you can call me at work (888)678-5282. Sorry for the delay :)

    Hey baby! :) I'm glad you stayed at our house, even though I only got to meet you for about 42.8 seconds. :) Holly's rockin' cool - hope you had fun in good ol' Kansas! I am, however, sorry that you had to spend majority of your time in Topeka... Lord almighty, that's unfortunate. haha. I will look you up if I'm ever in San Diego! :)

    Ciao bella~
