Trying to decide whether I'm in a superhero or supervillain mood this morning.
I guess I need more coffee...

Wait... I don't think that's the original song. Oh well, maybe another cup of coffee will help my brain get in gear this morning.
When my blood runs black as the moonless night, and my heartbeat sounds as the warriors march, only then may you say I’ve had enough coffee.
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy coffee, and that's pretty close.

Today’s random question: How much coffee is too much coffee?
It's morning, and that means one thing and one thing only: it's coffee time! (And maybe a donut or two)
Coffee: helping to smooth the transition between night and day for centuries. Grab a cup and let's go carpe that diem!
Normally, this is the time of day when I log-in to CoSo and post something coffee related.
Today is not a normal day. For today is International Sushi Day.
I love sushi. I mean, I could eat Japanese food everyday and not get tired of it.
I *really* like sushi.
Then I realized that there's no law against combining sushi and coffee. No law at all.
And all is once again good in the world.
It’s Monday and I’m in a mood.
Not sure what kind of mood it is, but once I’ve had some coffee, I might be better able to figure it out.
The key to happiness is to find someone who will look at you like this fox is looking at a cup of coffee.
Or better yet, just take the coffee and be happy with more energy. 😎 ☕
Who cares about Margaritaville?
I want to go to Coffeeville where the coffee cups float serenely on the calm shores of a beautiful lake ... and are big enough even for me. 😁 ☕
Coffee, so delicate, yet so simple.
It can give you the highest of buzzes, to the deepest of thoughts.
Coffee is a blank canvas, and the drinker is the artist.
Me: "Hey honey, how's your Monday going so far?"
Wife:
Me: (backs away slowly, making no sudden moves)
A therapist friend once told me that when I'm feeling stressed, I should visualize myself in my "happy place". Which works pretty well, even though I somehow keep ending up with sand in my shoes... 😎
"Quick, company is coming! Get out the good coffee service!"
