Caffeine

Apr 24, 2007 16:22

A series of events has occurred that has recently gotten me drinking more coffee than I usually do. And now I find myself needing a bit of a caffeine fix ...

Wow, I didn't know you knew so much about coffee (or anything ... ha ha). I will now have to consider a french press over a traditional coffee maker. I don't know how they work tho. And what does "descale" mean?

OK, we'll just see how the day's going. My guess is we'll probably try to get up early and go into the park and then be hitting the road early afternoon. it might be difficult to coordinate a meeting ... but I'll let you know if anything changes. I guess Jesse and I will just have to visit you in LA sometime! It's been a while since we did the whole LA thing.

The online translator told me you said "I put myself sad that you are Spanish scared." I'd say that sums it up.
