A propos of nothing… My parents were consummate hosts. They loved entertaining, and they always made guests feel welcome. Everyone loved my folks. They even made ME feel like a guest, even though I could get my own beverage, or snack or whatever. The one area where they fell short was… coffee. They made absolutely shite coffee. It wasn’t just that they bought a crummy brand, (which they did), they just barely used any grounds, and so the coffee was super weak. I put cocoa, honey and cream in my coffee, so it becomes this rick and delicious “muck,” as Matt calls it. But at their place, even with all that stuff in it, it tasted watery and thin and yucky. As much as I enjoyed their company over coffee, I would come home and … make coffee, coz my body knew it was missing something. But… they liked it, so I guess that’s ok. Weird.
Miss you David and Sharon. Don’t miss your coffee.
