Ash Wednesday, 2009

Dear Coffee,

Well, it’s Lent again and time to say ‘goodbye.’  This marks my third year to wander through the wilderness without you.  Your magic pixie dust of ground beans that give me something to look forward to every morning (and mid-morning, and mid-afternoon …) is something that will be just a dream for the next 40 days.  I love you, Coffee, and I look forward to our rendezvous in April.  Meet me at the kitchen coffee maker at 6:00 a.m. sharp on Sunday, April 12.  I think I want Kona coffee, can you do that?  That’s how I will remember you.

Love always,

Hil
