Friday Coffee

Today's guest post is from my brother ~ posted without permission. :)

Preface: I love getting e-mails from my bro. He is the opposite of me. I heavily rely on e-mailing while he lives by the phone. Actually, he is by far the person that I call the most for. I wish he had a direct line just to receive calls from me. Haha! So anywho, he hardly ever e-mails me but when he does, they bring me much joy, even when it’s a one-liner (b/c they’re usually really funny).

He sent me an e-mail this morning and said, "Here are some really good quotes I saw on Coffee Bean cups." Now, I am a big fan of Starbucks mainly b/c it's familiar territory. On the other hand, my bro is a big fan of Coffee Bean. I have to agree that I like their idea of memorable quotes on a coffee cup. It’s as if they are giving their customers a tip. :) There are some good ones; some I've seen before.

On the subject of coffee, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand (1754-1838) described it as, "Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love." I love coffee.
