Coffee
A little personal
trivia. My mom brought me up sipping her cold cup of Folgers that
she would nurse all day long. In college, there was a one-of-a-kind
coffee store in Seattle's University Village after which my dorm mates
nick named named me - Starbuck. In a context like that, I guess it
was inevitable that I would come to enjoy coffee and lattes.
Tea
My wife introduced
me to tea when we first married and every day still begins with a tea brewed
strong to look like coffee. I stock a straight black leaf tea like
English Breakfast along with blackberry, mango, Earl Gray, and other flavored
teas.
Dining Beverages
From early
times, alcoholic beverages in moderation
have been recognized for their medicinal value and as a compliment to fine
dining. My wife is an incredible cook and I have come to enjoy a
specialty
beverage to compliment these meals.
Water
In recent years
a work colleague told me about the virtues of drinking water so I tried
cutting back on coffee and tea and drinking more water. Now, over
half of what I drink is water. My dry skin has almost all gone away,
my sneezing reduced by half, my colds and flues reduced by 80%, and I'm
more alert. Its been amazing. I have come full circle to believe
that water is the finest libation of them all! |
