Melvin's "Darn Good" Coffee...

Maybe so. Hell, there are so many places you can go wrong with coffee... I have long suspected that having a Mormon youth make your coffee could be a very bad thing. I now have near flawless empirical evidence (well... ). Note: I live in Provo, Utah... and am the only non-Mormon within walking distance. Before I get going, I need to note that I am not picking on my young lds friends... I am just pissed that someone could screw up a cup of coffee so badly (this is sacred ground we're walking on - tread lightly).

You have to drink coffee to make a decent cup. That's the rule... you have to know what you're doing. Coffee is a delicate drink that can be ruined at any given step... You have to care about the drink enough to baby it through the process.

Has anyone had Melvin's "Darn Good" Coffee? Is the roast just shitty??? I suspect that too could be the case...

Nevertheless... Einstein does have great bagels, and they do open early enough to satisfy my need for a warm cup of caffeine (which is, essentially all you get - I wouldn't dare call it coffee). which does serve to aide in my awakening (when work calls me in too early to rely on other coffee shops).

I thank my vibrating brain for Juice and Java... At least they know how to make coffee, and Cafe Ibis (where J&J gets their beans) is a very decent micro-roastery. Now, if only I could get away from work for 20 minutes....

"Greatest Snow on Earth..."

Ha! Utah is full of liars and braggers. We may have had a nice snowflake once... but, that was a long, long time ago.

Burning a CD with the same songs. I gave the other one to Marie... she loved the bluegrass cover of Gin & Juice. She's happy, and I think that is wonderful. I'm glad that she has found Jake... and I think he is a good guy. I hope they have a beautiful life together.

I'm on my way to Redding to spend time with my brother. I'll only see him for a moment Saturday, before I leave... so, this is it. I wish I had more time to spend with him. Life is too short... it really is.

I miss Utah (what?? did i say that?). I miss my friends.

Coffee... Strong coffee, indeed.

It's almost three and most certainly will be by the time I post this. There are a lot of beautiful women in this world, and only one of me... what a pity.

Willie sent me a link to a job post at Sonoma State University. The job is essentially the same as what I have here, only it pays much more. I forwarded the link to my boss, and asked her why we don't have a comparable salary... evidently Utahns are just cheap. I think (just for kicks) I may apply for the job. It can't hurt... but the desert, the desert. How I would miss the desert of Southern Utah. And the Wasatch mountains are so delicious... But, how I long for California... I moved out here six and a half years ago and feel like I've been raised by both places. How can I give one up for the other? God, I need to go camping.
