Got a quad shot mocha for my writing drink today. The baristas are so earnest about their art. It’s become a habit for me to play critic with the outcomes.
Shannon finished my mocha with a central daisy, with two hearts rising on either side. Cool. I complimented her work. They always brim my drink so I always take the first swallows at the counter before walking away. This time, after doing so, I looked down to see how the art had changed, and discovered a worm hole, such as you’d see in Star Trek.
I pointed it out to Shannon. “That totally does,” she answered. “Are you going to use it in your next story?”
I laughed. “Of course.”
“I want royalties.”
I laughed more. “So do I.”

One person’s poison is another person’s poison…. I especially enjoy Mexican mochas, but it’s difficult to find places that do them right. From there, it’s downhill to Irish Coffee, preferably from the Buena Vista in SF.

Hah, a meetcute – maybe for a novel or movie. Yeah, the quad shots fortify my morning coffees and keep me going until nappy time in the late afternoon.
