I am many kinds a traitor.
Mar. 7th, 2008 12:42 amNo really, I am. First, let me just disclaim: I have in no way committed any crimes against my country. I even voted in the presidential primary, which is (sadly) Advanced Citizenship. But I have committed sins of apostasy, or blasphemy, or whatever. It's hard to classify when it's not religious.
OK, so, first off? I bought a product that I have often derided. That product? Decaffeinated coffee. See, I started making my coffee in a tasty, tasty way: in a little moka pot, a nice dark roast freshly ground with cardamom and coriander. Pour into a mug with about a quarter cup of warmed, sweetened milk, lightly frothed. Nummy. Anyway, I want to drink it... pretty much all day. Problem is, I'm apparently getting old. Either that, or I actually have finally kicked my bad caffeine habit. Anyway, practically speaking? I can't drink my delicious strong coffee after about 3pm, or I don't sleep. So I broke down and bought some decaf Colombian French roast beans. Go ahead and judge me. I judge myself.
