Hypernation

Thinking of making some more coffee. I think I drink too much of it, but you know, I like that hyper feeling.

I recall when I first went to a Starbucks in 1989 and ordered a cafe latte. This was in the northwest, before Starbucks grew like a cancer. When I got back to the DC area, I found it hard to find anyplace that actually knew what a cafe latte was. Being at the pretentious age I was, I thought to myself, "What a cultureless place this is--all they have is plain old coffee!"

Now when I go to one of the many fancy coffee shops, some of which are even present here in Prairieland, I don't order a latte--I order plain old coffee. I'm a contrarian I think. Or maybe this new simplicity is just another pretention.

Looking forward to visiting next week. Maybe we can get some Ethiopian? I'm up for anything, really.
