Oh, yeah.

Morning, Box.

Manners will be slow to appear this morning without caffeine. :rolleyes:

Thank you, sir. :-:

Parallel to my philosophy of beer with fruit, I believe coffee that needs an add-in is a FAIL ;)

I may be wrong about this. Cooled down a little, black coffee isn't awful. Might take some adjustment...interesting development.

Club's very empty by MEM standards but I also know others elsewhere on FT who would :rolleyes: at the use of guesting privileges.

Beer with fruit...Shiner Hefeweizen is a no-go for you? I'm curious to try it.

:rolleyes: them. Especially if it's a young kid traveling in uniform.

ETA - Most airline lounges beat the pants off of a USO lounge anyway. The only upside to the USO lounge is the guaranteed (and terrifically enforced) quiet room. I don't know of too many airline lounges with that. Love the USO; they're a fantastic organization. But they don't do it the way the airlines do.

As a child my grandmother made me drink coffee that was about half milk - said it would impair my growth (black was always my preference). She passed away when I was 11 yet I'm still 7 inches taller than anyone else in my family ...

g'day box. :-:

I'm thinking of booking a trip from Milan to Minsk.

Even though my local gas station sells Shiner Hefe now, answer is no. The hefeweizen that came in my Costco Kirkland craft beer case (picked up Wednesday) went to ex-girlfriend. Blue Moon is also a FAIL, as is Corona on many different levels.

Started on that same blend at about 18 months when my mother noticed I was reacting to her morning coffee. There's only one family member taller than me, and not by much.

Drinking real coffee with nuance also helps acclimate one to drinking black coffee. Some of the stuff in cans is almost undrinkable to me, and I'm back to drinking more than a pot on an average day.

One of my valet parkers is getting married in a few months and he is honeymooning to Jamaica. I have already informed him that he will be bringing home copious amounts of Blue Mountain, and not just for himself. (hint, hint)

I can taste the difference between the mass production and the high-end stuff, but mass production does the job unless I have access to something special at a good price (see previous post). After another shipment of Blue Mountain, I think it'll be time to try atman's Kona coffee for daily home use.

Hefeweizen is much different from Lambic. One is beer with fruit on the side; the other is fruity beer. :-:
