- Word on Barista Street: Coffee till Noon, Lovey Love I’m working a double-shift at the coffee shop today. This means I get plenty of fodder for the blog entrails. From our early morning regular, Miss double-soy latte (the so-sassy attorney incarnate) whom I really enjoy: Oh honey, I can handle all the caffeine you can give me. I’ve already had two shots of espresso […]

- (More) Strange Birds Coffee-breathed greetings to you from barista-land, where I’m working seven (seven?) days of 10-hour shifts to prepare for my month holiday. I’ve just returned from a short trip out to Lakeland, Florida, where the Spirit of God has been walking through the room a great deal. As I process that enormously encouraging trip, I will […]
- Dancing Three-Year Old Upon Arrival, A MOS Review Happy days in barista land, where on Friday I served as quasi-manager for the day at the shop.

I figure that a little Over the Rhine, new Mates of State, and old Radiohead is good […]
- In New Cities In a new city, I do not do anything very touristy, because that bores me. I sit with friends and drink coffee. I like it better that way. Friday night we heard some local music at a club in the Mission. The band was smart to have an upright bass, and they call themselves The […]
- San Fran Break-Fast Well, after about twelve weeks of my travel fast, I’m taking off for a weekend in San Francisco. I’ve never been to the fair city. I am excited. I’m also excited that the two books that I read ahead for classes happen to be the very two books in which ten pages of papers are […]
- Leafy and Feeling Powerful! I am turning over one of those new proverbial leafy things. It is the first week of the Spring quarter at Fuller. I am taking a full load of classes, while working 25-30 hours each week. And so, before classes even started, I talked myself into finishing almost two of the many books required for […]
- Strange birds, strings, and other things Spring Break is a strange bird when yes, you get a break from classes but no, not a break from your many occupations. I have been a bit sour over this fact, this week. But I have tried to make the best of it. The love birds are nesting above the giant iron gate at […]
