So. My wonderful, cheap French Roast c<strong>of</strong>fee beans were sold out. I grabbed something called<br />

German breakfast roast. Unfortunately Pre-Ground. Bitter, highly caffeinated, thin, insipid brew,<br />

tea on steroids. So much promise. So much disappointment. So little sleep.<br />

Narcissist beverage.<br />

I have the right not to explain.<br />

My cup <strong>of</strong> tea.<br />
