LOL, that would have been the way my mother and father drank coffee...he, as a 30 year Navy man, more so. It was a constant, him sitting at the kitchen table, unfiltered Pall Mall in one hand, coffee cup in the other, and a new pot brewing all the time. Me, I went my entire life without drinking coffee, but as I approach retirement, I have taken to drinking one cup every day first thing in the morning...at first it was like taking speed for me, now it is just a kick in the pants!
Like General Robert E. Lee said about war, I always drink it black, lest I grow to love it too much!
Gen Lee’s quote, a good one. I have a book of the many letters he wrote. Live as you wish to some extent, so true, but the healthier you are in old age, the better is life. Too many people live miserable lives once they pass 60.
