I decided, in solidarity with my long-suffering wife, to give up caffienated beverages for a few days. She has herself wired for the stuff such that giving it up means headaches and general malaise. I don’t have that problem, though I drink much more of it.
I think I would have made it just fine, except it got cold and I realized one of the reasons, perhaps the primary reason, why many of us in the Northwest drink coffee and tea, is to get warm. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go fix myself a mocha . . . . .
