Zen Potty

Anger is like poop; you hold it in for a time until you’re ready to burst, then you let it out for relief. I wonder how our friend, Dan Tobin, is doing.

Mr. Bean

I just received some coffee from India (southern India) from a friend, Shan N. It’s certainly bold! They’re apparently big into chicory over there. I’m enjoying the coffee, but it’s a bit much for my several-mugs-a-day habit.
