On Coffee

It’s no secret that I love coffee.

I love it dripped, pressed, espressed, and pretty much in any form except percolated.

Yet, I’ve stopped drinking it regularly.

It’s for a simple reason: I want to be able to function in the absence of coffee. I recently went on a hike with Myles and couldn’t go further than half a mile. Part of it was poor physical conditioning (up until then, I’d been pretty bad about going to the gym), part of it was the coffee I had on the way up to the trailhead.

I haven’t given up coffee entirely, for I had some at breakfast (at the Breakfast Club with Woof). I’ve just given up the regular dosing of it.

So, new rule: drink coffee to enjoy coffee, not because you need coffee.
