Stumptown Coffee = Liquid Gold

Coffee Review gives Stumptown Coffee's Panama Esmerald Especial a rating of 91.

Blind Assessment: Cherry notes dominate in the very sweet-toned, pungently acidy aroma. Relatively light-bodied in the cup, but sweetly and buoyantly acidy, with striking and complex aromatic notes: cherry, tea rose, Meyer Lemon, orange, honey. Honey in particular persists in the rich, sweet, though slightly astringent finish.

YUM! Check out Stumptown's site and let me know if you desire some beans.

Christmas in August

The season starts earlier and earlier each year. It's only a matter of weeks or days before we can start seeing our local Macy's advertising for Christmas.

'Wow honey, that was an awesome summer barbeque! How about we walk it off at the mall and do some Christmas shopping.'

Earthquake in Battleground

Jeanne and I felt this one pretty good! It happened right about 1:39pm PT and we felt it right at 1:40. It was of a 3.8 magnitude! Pretty cool...

Watch out for me! I'm a comin'!
