No Mention of Coffee

     Here I am back at my computer putting my thoughts down on paper--ur, uh computer screen. My decision today is to not even mention my morning cup of coffee.  Each entry to my blog I have started talking about how I am awake and have had my morning coffee.  This may be annoying people so I won't say a word about my morning cup.
     You know, I prefer a dark roast, and whenever I go to Starbuck's and have a cup I always order a tall dark.  It doesn't matter if it is French Roast, Kimodo Dragon or Pike's it is always a dark.  When I buy beans-which I grind at home before I make my pot (coffee not that other stuff this is a family blog) at home-its always a dark roast.  I take that back, it isn't always a dark roast.  I like a Kona blend for its great taste and my son prefers a lighter roast.
     It seems as though there is more oil in dark roast.  When I grind the beans for my morning coffee, if it is a dark bean there always remains some grinds in the grinder.  This is not the case for the lighter Kona beans.  I really don't know why this is.  There is just something about a fresh cup of morning coffee made with fresh ground beans. Plus, I really enjoy the sound of the beans grinding in the grinder. The bubble, bubble bubble sound the coffee maker makes as the coffee brews is very comforting and is a great start to the day.  When I pour the brown liquid into my cup and add the cream-my son uses Almond Joy Coffee Mate but I am a purist so I use regular cream-and sugar I know my day will start on a good note.  Bring on the Fruit Loops for breakfast, I am a happy camper and ready to meet the day and tackle it head on.
    Let's see-what am I going to write about this morning?  Darn, its getting late and I have to do my workout.   I don't want to be late for my early "Dawn Patrol" tee time and the old farts (I know many of you in my group are reading this, so I am saying that lovingly.) are waiting so I must go.

Good Morning!

     Here I am again in front of a huge blank screen with my task to fill the huge void with my brilliant rantings, humor and observations.  The key to this is having something to write about. My mind is blank  As I sip on my morning coffee-it is normally the first thing in the morning about 5:00 AM or 05:00 for you in the military or for my international readers-I write because I am a morning person.  Hey, wait a minute. That could be the topic for today.  I could talk about being a morning person as opposed to a night owl.  Sometimes I amaze myself, especially when I am under the gun.  Here goes.

Wha...Wha...Did I fall asleep?  Oops, sorry I didn't mean to.  Oh heck, it's early.  I'm going back to bed.

Life is good! My eyes are open and I have poured my first cup of coffee. Here I am at my computer writing this sipping on the light brown brew that I poured into my pirate cup. I collect coffee mugs you know, but that can be another blog entry. Last night was choir rehearsal. I sing in a Community Chorus. I don't know if I can sing, in fact sometimes I doubt my singing talents given some of the looks I get at rehearsals. I figured, what the heck I bought the tuxedo so I have to find an occasion to wear it. Actually, I like wearing it and have been looking for a matre'd job. This is Fresno so that probably won't happen. My guess is that choir performances and cruise formal nights will have to be the only times I bust out the formal threads. Such a shame. It is early in the morning here in California and again last night was choir rehearsal. It is a rehearsal not a practice, after all we are a master chorale. There is a lot of talent in this group and I kind of go along as comic relief as well as an occasion to wear my tux. I look pretty good in it too, I might say. Once I was asked to sing in "The Massiah"-OK, I probably spelled it wrong but just bear with me. I told the musical director I couldn't because I couldn't Handel it. That was bad, but I enjoyed that and if you didn't get it I am not going to explain it. I was also told that Mozart only had one friend but they didn't play together often because he was Haydn. I know the impact of this musical humor seems very corny, but if you knew the people who are uttering this nonsense it makes sense and seems out of character for these giants of song. It was funny to me. Don't forget to visit one of my fine sponsor. Are you protected in case your identity is stolen. Take a look at LegalShield.

I decided yesterday that it was time. My blogs have been dormant too long and it was about time to bore you once again with my irreverent (hey, so that's how you spell irreverant) observations on life. You don't need to laugh at my humor because I have been told I am not funny. I can live with that, but that isn't going to stop me. Sorry, but you are stuck with me. I thank you for following me and reading my blog. Most of all, I commend you continuing to read my mindless and unimportant drivel. Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to stop reading and following it but I do want to thank you and hope you will continue to tune in. I don't know if you have noticed but I have a few new sponsors. Please check them out and click on them if you need their services. I am especially happy to have the LegalShield family of services. Identity theft is a serious problem in our electronic culture.
