This week marks 3 years since I’ve had a sip of alcohol. Pic on the left was from a blacked out zoom call at the height of my alcoholism. Right pic, same physical location, but in a much better place mentally today. It makes me smile to know that my son gets the present mom on the right.

A few of this weeks preparations for my residents. Had a really bad week & hated everything I made. I stayed hidden in the kitchen most of the week. When I finally came out they all had nothing but nice things to say. Lifted my spirits a little. It’s like seeing 70 of your grandparents every day lol

This truly did make me smile!
I met Andy Mumma 12-13 years ago at an event at Marathon Village. He was conceptualizing and beginning the initial build-out of Barista Parlor East. I was (and still am) an avid Crema supporter and when we were talking about coffee shops I mentioned that I loved walking into Crema each morning, being greeted by name and asked "the usual?" He bristled and immediately said, "that's not what I'm building." He went on to explain to me a place that doesn't cater to commuters, doesn't recognize the idea of "regulars" and doesn't want customers who order the same thing every day. He didn't think everyday people know enough about coffee to order intelligently (compared it to expensive wine). The first time I went to BO East I told the barista I trusted him to pick something I'd like. He asked me about some flavor profiles, I answered then he made his decision. Something like 20 minutes later, I get a glorified dixie cup 2/3 filled with the most acidic coffee drink I've ever tasted. I stopped by Crema on my way home.
Wow. That sucks. Saw your reply to mine a second ago, and searched your comments -- thanks. I used to hang with him and his girlfriend 15 or so years ago at 3 Crow. He was super friendly and fun to be around. I had no idea. What a bummer.
Happy Easter!
Is Andy still at the helm of the whole organization? I've been gone from Nashvegas for five years, and only returned just recently.
I followed Peter Hotez's tweets closely in the Summer of 2020. It seems to me that he truly has a passion for humanity and wants to save the world.
Way to go!
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Doing the lord’s work! I know it means a lot to them.
Nice! Where was this?
Love this!
I'd say so.
Wow, awesome! Good for you! Way to go!
Right click is your friend. I was the same way as you. With time it will become more intuitive. Literally let go and "use the force" like Luke. You will freak (in a good way) with all the free Mac apps.
Yay! I might have BPD myself, so I feel you.
Nice!
Any time I hear someone use the word ‘supposably’ in earnest, my brain switches off to dead. I might as well walk away then instead of staying and looking like a dead gecko.
I nearly spit out my drink!
People's lives could literally be at stake. A lot of immunocompromised people eat vegan. Be a hero and report this asshole.
This.
Awesome you guys!
Yum!
I’m sure you lifted their spirits a ton!
Love it!
Love it.
Lucky staff!
As long as the kitchen is functioning, I love being able to do the family meal stuff.
Stuff like that goes a long way for morale.
Nice!
Now that is really cool!
