Coffee
What is it with coffee that even when you don't want it, you still want it. Every since i started working in the chem lab I have been offered coffee every day and have been unable to refuse... is it that good? It makes my mouth taste like it does in the morning when you first wake up. That can't be good. It's not that great and the whole "wakes me up" feeling only lasts for like an hour or two. I doubt thats even real. Coffee probably has that whole placebo affect. I mean the thought of coffee makes me feel more alert. The strange thing is, I love tea. Tea even generally has more caffeine and its healthier, so why coffee? Why are Americans so fixated on coffee. What happened in Boston was so long ago, I mean, can't we stop dumping the tea and drink that?

Fascinating; this is exactly what a blog should be: a musing or reacting or thought-provoking pondering of some issue; wrestling with it, thinking about it and questioning it. Balzac, the great French writer, was so into coffee he made it thick as mud,--literally, and it inspired him, helped him marshal his thoughts... but you're right! so right, tea is so much better.
I drank tea for the longest time - it wasn't until my 1st husband died and I missed the smell of coffee in the morning that I switched.
