Found this buried from last Winter on Zoe’s laptop. Somehow I don’t think she ever showed it to me. It’s amazing what you can put together these days on the web, for further examples see http://blingee.com.

Finally, a 3oz insulated espresso shot glass
Like many residents of this city an occasional stop at the “Starbucks Public Restroom Service” happens, but as I was waiting on line I found a set of Bodum 3oz Insulated Shot glasses with ounce increment markings for sale ($10.95).
As far as I can tell these do not exist on the internet and I think [...]

‘Gunks, Birdie Party and a short traverse
Bill L. and I took a trip up on Monday to the Shawangunks and the Trapps. I can’t remember the first meandering “3 star” 5.8 we got on but it wasn’t particularly great. The view from the top of the cliff line was though and the sun was out, so I couldn’t complain. We hunted [...]

My goodness, that’s good coffee!
I’ve been drinking the Stumptown Hairbender blend, usually as a “tall black” AKA an Americano (with nearly equal amounts espresso to water) at Sweet Leaf down the street. It’s really good. Basically, it trumps most all the other coffee I’ve had in this city, which until lately has been chock full of not very good [...]
