... comes from my four-year-old son, uttered as he watched me make an Americano this morning:
"Daddy, why do you only drink coffee or beer or Pepsi?"
Now, son, please be fair: I had a glass of water a couple of weeks ago. And while I may not have finished it, I had the best of intentions in pouring it.




































































































Out of the mouths of babes....

Is there a problem with that? Well, maybe except for the Pepsi. :)

Come on Carl, does the "poor" lad know the visual difference between a glass of gin and a glass of water? Or did he actually see you fill it from the tap. ;)

C'mon Carl. You're a good Catholic. I was reading to my daughter today about the Last Supper. Where is the mention of wine. (Remember, California is suffering and needs our support).

Coffee and beer...the staples of life!
Carl, you are on the road to perfection....or something or other.

Carl,
Be careful or somebody might think that you were heavily influenced by Chesterton in your choice of beverages...

Jon: Agree. Pepsi is evil, along with all other sodas/pop/"soft drinks."
Stephen: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Matt: I actually drink as much wine as beer. Mostly Oregon wine, but also some wines from California and Washington.
Brian: I'm on the road. I'll go that far. ;-)
Barry: Did G.K. like Pepsi? Say, you need to come back to Oregon so I can serve you up some fabulous Oregon stouts.

Willamette Valley Vineyards, Carl. Good stuff. I find CA Pinot Noir close to undrinkable, but OR PN, great stuff. You guys also do nice G-wines.
