Glory to coffee in the highest
And peace to its beans on Earth
Lord coffee, heavenly brew, almighty coffee, our beverage
We worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your caffeine
Between power outages, balky computers, and an unexpected TV appearance, this has been a busy morning.
Gotta love Mondays...
Getting into the #Olympic spirit this morning. Or at least trying too, once I've had a cup of coffee or two.
I'm not sure what's better, the steam from a hot shower or the steam from a freshly brewed cup of espresso.
I know: I'll have the espresso in the shower! 😎 ☕

I was feeling a bit sluggish this morning, so I decided to brew my coffee with Red Bull instead of water.
I can now see sound and hear color.
I don't know about the rest of you, but my gears are feeling a bit rusty after this weekend...
Mental health experts say one of the best ways to relieve stress is to visualize yourself in your happy place.
Welcome to my happy place. 😎 🌴 ☀️ ☕
Ever feel like an 8-bit person in a 64-bit world?
Does this look like the face of someone who’s happy to be awake this early in the morning?
I didn’t think so…
#Good morning
#CaffeineClub.
Okay, okay... I'm up, dammit.
I'm not happy about it.
At least there's coffee... ☕
The three simple steps to happiness:
1) Roast
2) Grind
3) Brew
And there you go: happiness in a cup.
Some people say coffee is love.
Some people say coffee is life.
I say coffee is what keeps me out of prison.
Just saying...
The morning started off with the speedometer redlined and has barely slowed enough for me to get a cup of coffee and check CoSo (even briefly).
Today is National Sugar Cookie Day, which goes very well with coffee (since every day is Coffee Day in the Poole household).
There's nothing happier than the sound of a baby laughing.
Unless it's 3am, it's coming from the attic, and you don't have any kids...
Happy Friday everyone! I hope no one‘s crazy neighbors tried to burn down the neighborhood with all of their fireworks last night. Unlike some neighbors I could mention… 🙄
You know what would be better than having a cup of coffee in the morning? Having a cup of coffee in the morning on vacation at a tropical beach.
Hey, a man can dream... 😎 ☕
