Wife, like coffee for life


The coffee I was served with is perhaps one of the best hot beverages I ever got.

Hanging out with my wife is one of the few quiet moments that reminds me of this hot brew. The view from across my table is simply amazing. It's full of life.

With her MacBook in tow the view of my wife warms my tummy. Who can resist wrapping your fingers around that cup that seems to invite your love every sip? The creamer, the brown sugar, and the hot watered-down double-shot Espresso swirls in happy chorus getting my taste bud’s approval. It’s like my life with my wife. It’s a perfect blend.

I love my wife.

Phelps blames being "youth" for wrong actions


The CNN website shows this headline:

Phelps admits 'bad judgment' after marijuana-pipe photo

To that, bemedaled, Olympic hero Michael Phelps says, "I'm 23 years old, and despite the successes I have had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me," Phelps said. "For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public -- it will not happen again."

I think that last statement, "...I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way..." is wrong.

Mr. Phelps, please do not blame your youth for doing what you did. That generalized statement makes you want to say that being young - you're very irresponsible and undisciplined. Why don't you just say that you're sorry and that you were wrong. Perhaps even add that you didn't know better.
