Coffee Coffee. Buzz Buzz.

Being a stay-at-home dad, there are a few things that I need in order to function well in that role. Hell, in any role, come to think of it. One of those daily rituals is coffee. Daddy needs his "go juice" in the morning or I'm nursing a massive caffeine withdrawal headache by 11:00am. My favorite blend (so far) is Millstone Coffee's Foglifter, which has a nice picture of the Golden Gate Bridge on the bag (I'm a sucker for San Francisco imagery) and does what it says: lifts the fog from your brain.

Unless, of course, your coffeemaker breaks, like mine did yesterday.

For now, I am making do with Folger's Coffee packets (kind of like teabags for coffee instead), but it doesn't quite compare to having a full pot of coffee at your disposal. Since money's tight right now (the aftermath of the holidays), a new coffeemaker has to wait for a bit. I have developed a curiosity of late for a particular blend of coffee that I am told is the java version of Nirvana: Tim Horton's coffee.

For those who don't know (which until a few months ago included me) Tim Horton's is a donut chain that is to Canada what Starbucks is in the U.S. In fact, I've heard stories where people will go to Tim Horton's to get their coffee and then go to the Starbucks across the street to socialize. Apparently, it's that good. There's also an urban myth that Tim Horton's laces their coffee with nicotine, which I just find hilarious. One of these days I will either a) go to a Tim Horton's and try it for myself firsthand, or b) order a bag of it via this website, which would be much cheaper, I know.

I need a cup of coffee. Talk to you all later!

Take care,
