Coffee Quote of the Week

coffeencream.jpg The voodoo priest and all his powders were as nothing compared to espresso, cappuccino, and mocha, which are stronger than all the religions of the world combined, and perhaps stronger than the human soul itself.

~Mark Helprin, Memoir from Antproof Case, 1995

Steve on Work…

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”

- Steve Jobs, Stanford commencement speech, June 2005

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for taking the kids out to paint the town red and allowing us a nice night out ourselves. A good movie and a very decadent coffee and dessert…
