I'm two coffee behind this morning so I have nothing sarcastic to say. It's been a pleasure Tom and I consider it a personal highlight to have met you and many others mentioned above in person two summers ago.
I think, JP, we should allow the others to attend the concert as special guests. Except maybe for Charles. I want him there but I don't want to see him arrested for breaching his restraining order to not be in the same state as Regina. Slurp. Ahhhhh. First sip of coffee of the day.

Not that I want to hijack this thread but since coffee was mentioned, I recently became very interested in brewing a good cup. We are in the middle of kitchen renos (wife's idea, not mine, ha!) so I used it as an excuse to buy good new coffee gear.
This is what I got: http://www.frcndigital.com/coffee/brazen.html http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/nespresso-pixie-espresso-maker/ http://www.costco.ca/Espressione-Professional-Conical-Burr-Coffee-Grinder.product.10338549.html I thought that cigar, wine & audio snobs were over the top; however, I found a review of my favourite Nespresso Pixie coffee capsule. I'm almost embarrassed to drink it after reading this: Ristretto Espresso Capsule (Black): Sweet-toned, lush aroma, with clear chocolate notes and hints of leather, fruit and flowers. In the small cup heavy body with a creamy though slightly rough mouthfeel, and deep, leather and fir-toned, cocoaish chocolate smoothing and sweetening in a long, rich finish. Good presence and body in two parts milk, but remains rather stolid, not quite fully opening and blooming. This is about coffee?? I would never have thought, ha! I make a capucchino every evening as a desert coffee after supper with this wonderful little Pixie machine (made in Switzerland for a change!). It is so quick & easy & turns out like this: ![]() TAM |

The supersecret mail doesn't use addresses. You would know that if you were worthy.

It would be no surprise to anyone to find I wasn't worthy.
Damn, I blew the big speech I had planned for the 10K, didn't I?

Hey, congrats, Mark!
I always knew you could do 10K!

Cheers, brother. It's only fitting that - for your 10,000th post - you resisted the urge to actually add value.
