Stream of Consciousness Saturday – “Make the Call”

  A big gulp of coffee reaches the brain in less time than is reasonable to hope. With the cobwebs gone, it is time to fire up the clock. The choice is to continue to make 1923 mistakes or finally move into 1924. Someone needs to make the call, and it has to be me. […]

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “In a Nutshell”

When the coffee machine knows the need and desire for the relief the beverage promises, has reached an apex, it then decides it needs a cleaning.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “Just Do It “

Today’s treat is a steaming cappuccino made right here in the kitchen. The whole milk is steamed, and the shot of espresso is delivered, and here it is. A couple of shakes of cinnamon and a sip of the foamy goodness turns my mind to the clock. In a discussion with Resa McConaghy, she mentioned […]

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “PH”

  The coffee machine is slow to wake up today. A check of the vitals shows no problem, but the command buttons, once pushed, seem to have no effect on performance.
