I drank a cup of coffee …

I drank a cup of coffee today with a friend at Longboard (formerly Kootenai Coffee) -- and I can't remember what the cup looked like. I don't think it was red. And I don't think it said anything about Christmas. And I didn't give tell the barista that my name was "Merry Christmas." All  know about that cup was this: It was dark roast. It hit the spot. I woke up enough to have a good visit with my friend. The coffee and the business that provided it did their job. I appreciate that in a coffee business.
