Ah, I see. Hadn't realised that. To be honest, I don't really see the appeal of that either. Feels like buying a signed photograph of a sports personality from a merch stand. Surely the point of the signature is to have a tangible memory of meeting the person? These days that seems to have been replaced by selfies.

Oh indeed. I agree.

My sister-in-law once bought me a copy of STARDUST for xmas and thought the "signed" just meant Gaiman's sig....but instead I am the proud owner of a first ed. hardcover copy of STARDUST signed "For Juan! ~ Neil Gaiman"

Juan apparently didn't care about his signed book. LOL.

Every once in awhile, probably like once a month maybe (or longer), I will drive to this out of the way coffee shop (and it is quite a distance out of the way) and get the best cup of coffee around. Well this morning was one of those visits. Have you ever had a cup of coffee so irresistibly good that you don't want to put the mug down and instead just want to have the rim attached to your lip as you sip down every last, addictive drop? Damn it's good! I've learned constraint though, and to savor this rare experience and extract from it all the pleasure possible over a reasonable duration.

Is it filter coffee? And do you drink it without milk and sugar?

It's hoity-toity expensive coffee expertly constructed by advanced baristas who have earned their certificates identifying their place amongst the 'platinum order of baristai', which means they hold the vaunted and rare honor of being in the top 1% of their discipline in all the world.

I drink without milk and sugar sometimes, but I also like my coffee sometimes to have just a slight hint of sugar and cream. Nothing is set in stone, in other words. It all depends what I'm hankering for on that particular visit, it's sorta how I roll.

Hey BK! Were you celebrating the anniversary?

It has been at or above record high temperatures here the past couple of days (which is messing with my groove worthy), but this morning when I was leaving the house for work, I pulled in a lungful of air that had that distinctive chill snap to it that portends autumn is near. Man I love that feeling after a oppressively hot summer. Those mornings in August (occurring later and later now sadly) when the smell of freshly cut grass and that cool, crispness to the morning that says glorious autumn is almost here.

Our PM took the team to a high end steak house to celebrate a key project milestone. I had (and like) my steak bloody. So much so that the bloody goodness needs to be pooling around the steak so as to be mopped up by a chunk of torn bread. Does that make me a horrible person? Is that one of the key indicators of a psychopathic serial killer? If so, I guess I should just embrace it.
