			Finishing up a mug of Peet's Summatra Blend coffee, and now moving way, way over to a Lung Ching Dragonwell tea. This is perhaps the best known of the China Greens, and a delight if brewed below 195F. (Gets too bitter and grassy for me above that temperature.)

			Another sunny and warm day here in Paradise. A good day for a brisk morning cuppa, so a large pot of Murchie's English Breakfast Blend tea is a perfect start for the day.

			faux San Pellegrino. While I sit here in a meeting that has turned into a total cluster. Thank goodness I'm dialed in remote and can ignore most of this...

			Just came inside to finish my third mug of tea.  It's cool out on the deck -- temps in the low 40s (F) -- but there's not a cloud in the sky and it's comfortable in the sun.

			In the office, doing things that can't be done during working hours. Sigh. The life of a system administrator.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Drinking the last of my faux San Pellegrino until I get home. It'll be a very mixed bag for the next couple of days.  |
