Goodies from Bellevue, WA!
I received a surprise package today from clear across the U.S. When Steve from Not a Nerd emailed asking if I drank coffee, I didn't realize he had an ulterior motive. :-) Last month I posted that Steve and his wife Elena were opening a cafe in Bellevue, WA and that if you lived in that area, you should stop by and sample the goods. (That's what friends are for; to wish them good luck and do what you can to promote them/their business... at least that's how I look at it.)
Anyway, back to the surprise. I opened the package and found a love note (joking!) from Steve written on beautifully designed white lined notebook paper. [wink] Steve even apologized for the paper -- as if THAT MATTERED! Underneath the note I found a bag of Bolivia "Los Yungas" Medium Roast coffee AND a box of chocolates from Elena's other business, Grendel Sweets. How cool is that? It's the next best thing to being there and sampling everything in person.
Miss Piggy (that's me!) is in her glory. Thanks Steve and Elena!!!

Joost - Nope, not an early B-day present. The BD is not for another 35 days :-)

Happy B'day in advance. When it actually rolls around I'm going to be in transition to a new life in the continent down under, and probably without internet access for at least a while.
I'll drop by after everything stabilizes again, but that may be a few months. This is out on the edges of civilization and we'll probably have to get by with a 56k modem for the short term. Power is coming from solar cells so 24/7 net access as a way of life is probably coming to an end.
G'day.
