a more equal exchange

i've always liked the people at equal exchange, ever since i met beth ann at the 2003 scaa boston convention. i'd love to cup coffee with her someday!

today we see an article on how equal exchange works with religious groups (log your own bad self in and think of bruce: saute, wednesday) to promote fair-trade coffee.

myself, i was just tired today. i started the morning with a cappuccino of gimme's leftist espresso, but still craved comfort.

so i went on and made gillies carioca in the cafetiére. it helped. isn't that what coffee's for?

sometimes, you're just a touch blue: maybe it's the cold weather, not enough sleep, absent friends, too much work. you wonder "does anyone feel the way i do? does anyone remember i'm here?"

take my advice: make a great cup of coffee and just smell it. it's relaxing and uplifting in and of itself. . . then drink it with a sigh and move on to feeling better!

still can't shake those early winter, post-holiday blues? try to find a yoga class near you this very afternoon!
