All right! I have excuses for both of my main vices - chocolate AND coffee! My day is now COMPLETE...

Coffee Antioxidants

You are just a fountain of information this morning! I used to write for Suite101.com until they stopped paying and made it on an ad revenue basis.

I would go see that if they came near!

So would I, but this week I've been trying to win Elton John tickets...

Coffee makes me cheerful and perky ... that is a health benefit!

I work with at least a few people for whom the lack of coffee is a health hazard...for the rest of us! I'm pretty much a morning person no matter what, but some people you just don't even approach until they've had that first cup.

I am a morning person too... not crabby in the morning! - But need coffee to appreciate all my senses!

Before coffee, my eyes keep going into screen-saver...

You can win a pair of tickets for the floor here for only $405.00 each.

Shouldn't it be rather obvious to you that's why we're trying to win the tickets?

The most we've ever paid for tickets to anything was $150 each for tickets to the George Bush Inaugural Ball in 1989.

You know... it is funny.... All this talk of antioxidants, like they are the latest greatest thing, and I have NEVER been curious enough to find out what antioxidants do and why I want them.

Silly hobbit! You want them because they're found in chocolate, coffee and beer...

I used to borrow a co-worker's lab nerd magazines at my last gig. Just don't ask how they used to decaffeinate coffee....you don't want to know!

Yikes! Makes me glad I mostly like rather obscure musicians! The most I've ever spent for a concert was $35 for a solo concert by Anthony Kearns (of the Irish Tenors)!

Yeah, I don't know how sales are going, but the listed price only goes up to $59.95...(we're not paying that either)

Well, that's a nice thing to say! I've always liked to look at her pictures. Typical "40s" pictures...

I wish I had a chance to meet her.

Actually I don't need to know! Or do I?

We don't hit a lot of the concerts either. Off the top of my head I can't think of anyone we'd have to see if they came to town. A few years back I took the Mrs. to hear Itzak Perlman for Mother's Day. I was appalled that the theater wasn't packed.
