French Press Coffee is easily the best in my opinion. Lattes are too weak for me, and the milk gets in the way of the flavor. Espresso is great for robust flavor, but you really can't sit and sip it because it goes bitter after a couple of minutes. The Starbucks "Via" was alright, and I would do that over a lot of other coffee options, but the French Press is the king of coffee brewing technique. I have been drinking it over the past few days. As it is brewing, I put some sugar, a drip or two of vanilla extract, and some whipping cream in the bottom of my cup. I whip the cream right in the coffee mug with my hand held mixer. After four minutes of brewing, I pour the hot coffee into the cup and it is soooooooo goood. All the same, I think I will just remain off of coffee. It burns my stomach and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I start to eat a lot of pastries and cookies and shit that I haven't been eating much of in the last few months. It also makes me more erratic than focused, so I will have to say good bye to coffee for now. Once in a while, maybe, when I am out for a nice meal. But I just don't think I can handle it on a regular basis, which is why I quit in the first place.

Poker wise, things are going fairly well. I think I am opening up my range too much against the donks, and, even worse, I am assuming that everyone else is too so that they can be in a heads up pot with a really spewy player. I toned that down today, and owned some souls, but I am break even after just after four hours of playing mostly two tables today.

Play well. Do good work. Keep in touch.
