The gods' nectar

Today I risked my safety to travel through Berry Hill at 12:30 p.m. in search of a strong cup of coffee from Sam & Zoe's. Yes, the traffic was crazy (and when I say crazy, I mean that people were stopping where they shouldn't, jutting into intersections at awkward angles, and running red lights) and the temp on my car's thermometer said 106. Yes, 106 degrees! And yes, I went for hot coffee, not iced (the ice would've melted by the time I got back to the office anyway).

Why did I do this, you ask? Because every day, and most especially every Monday, should start with a good, strong cup of coffee. I ruined my own recipe this morning and make a pot the color of iced tea, and the office coffee just never quite does it for me. So, with determination to fight both the traffic and the afternoon blues, I am now contented with a medium non-fat au lait from my neighborhood java joint.

Here's to a lovely Monday!
