[!@#$%!]

i quit drinking coffee a few months ago; i feel better than ever. i miss the coffee ritual but i now have taken up the brewing of herbal potions, which are equally interesting and not as addictive.

when i drank coffee though, i used to love the coffee bar at kramerbooks in dc. no exactly a coffee bar, but a bar with an espresso machine--inside a bookstore!

 

in albuquerque, satellite (a local chain) is nice.

my drink of choice: double americano with 1/2 the water, strong and short, but long enough for a couple of cigarettes.

ah, good times.
