An auspicious start to 2014. I opened my October 28-dated-fresh bag of Peet's Cafe Domingo coffee and fell in love. It tasted like sin in my mouth, and I'm semi-wretched as Peet's is usually beyond my daily coffee budget. Thank goodness for Target sales - let's see: is it worth having my bank accounts compromised for good coffee. Duh! Of course.
Oh, yes, New Year. G-Man, Chili Dog, and I took our annual New Year walk on the beach. It's a bit cooler this year than usual, but plenty of people were out walking dogs; tossing new footballs; and enjoying the beach.
I looked for signs of what 2014 would bring, hoping to find an Auger shell, my good-fortune shell, but no luck this year. I did find a shiny, point-intact Olive, which I gave to a little girl and her Mom. Ok, starting off with a good deed.
We saw several schools of dolphins with many moms, babies glued to their sides, diving in perfect tandem. I love the way dolphins make people stop and look, like snow flakes and helicopters. People just have to stop, point, and jump around with excitement, "Did you see that?"
Then on the way home, we cruised through McDonald's for a diet coke, and there we were amazed to find a couple of guys in day-glo orange ballcaps, going through the drive-through with a roadkill deer strapped to the trunk lid of their car. Yuck! Could I get that to go, please.
Ok, so great coffee, dolphins, and roadkill on January 1. What does this mean for 2014? I'm going to have another cup, but so far, I got nothin'. I will take your calls and letters and get back to you.
