yes, of course. . .

"fortune occasionally, generously, interrupts the general daily monotony with wry comments and ridiculous juxtapositions. . ."

well, maybe the ny times is beginning to catch a clue (log your own bad self in and think of bruce: saute, wednesday) after all! (with thanks to the incredible cate baril of green mountain!)

also, today had coffee with the incredible devorah of malinal and san cristobal coffees about triage coffee, real coffee quality and the serious question of sustainability.

(what is triage coffee? this is junk coffee, trash coffee: black, unripe, and
fermented beans that don’t add to the flavor of the cup; it counts for about 15% of world production. it's basically no-quality coffee, but by floating around the market, it helps depress prices. this stuff has gotta be removed from circulation if we want to seriously tackle the coffee crisis.)

she and partner jim kosalos are the real deal when it comes to people with business solutions to the crisis.

they have the most awesome transparent, fair, and totally business-oriented model to enchance the spread of quality coffee, the kind of specialty coffee we scaa member consumers want to drink and support. check this space for more on this initiative very soon. . .

talking to d. was intensely exciting. of course, i knew meeting her would be incredible, and i have to thank the endlessly amazing scaa chief ted lingle for the introduction!
