It is hard to remember the '60's. They say if you do, you weren't really there. Our parents (that is, of us baby boomers) think the whole generation was "bad". Of course some good came out of it as well. We became, well, uh, more natural. We started liking organic things for instance.
Much positive (and negative) came from the Woodstock Generation (that thought we knew it all at the time), it was a. unique music that is often duplicated, rarely replicated, and an attempt to eat from the earth, that is, more naturally. Health food stores began popping up everywhere and I even owned one. The jury is still out if all the good foods, vitamins, minerals, monthly fasts, etc. counteracted all the dangerous chemicals ingested "out of experimentation". Yes Virginia, I DID inhale, but then again, I'll never run for political office, never plan to, and if you don't like it, that is your issue to resolve. Don't come to me with it, please.
Of course we learned some good things out of the Woodstock generation, like "coffee is bad" because it contains too much caffeine and perhaps that is why our "parents were so weird", and now our coffee-ingestion makes our parents look like Mary Poppins.
Let's say I was Harry Potter and could give you the choice, two free tickets to a brand new third Woodstock that I produced and created, but if you went, which would include airfare and hotel accomodations, I would be forced to shut down every major coffee chain in the world. Which would you choose? I think I know. You are jittery right now for that next French Vanilla aren't you?
It's like that ridiculous question, but one to think about. How important is the Internet to you? If you had to give something else up, just as important what (or whom) would it be? Think about it. No Internet or no kitty cat? No Internet or no mean uncle? Hard question I know.
The coffee-age in which we live, is that we also love to make our own gourmet coffees. Groceries are loaded with beans that one can ground fresh, because the savvy coffee connosiour rarely drinks chain coffees knowing that they can be stale and that rancidity covered with flavors and chemicals so many of us opt devour our favorite hot drink in the comfort of our living room.
So I keep a half dozen or so favorite coffee mugs. Some avid drinkers, I'm told, are even beginning to collect the best coffee mugs on the market. Many can be found on Ebay and other shopping channelsand even speciality coffee mug shops. I shop all around, but my favorite are at Just Funny Mugs. They each contain a Londons Times Cartoon on them, and nothing is more fun than to wake up in the morning, get one's caffeine fix, and remember that funny cartoon all day. It can be an added stimulation, caffeine and laughter. What a great combination.
