The temperature range in the valley has been from 28F to 118F this past year. I was pondering this the other day. In recorded history there have only been three days ever with hotter temperatures than the day I got the flat tire. 1164. Tags: Coffee, Cup, Blog

Deacon called last night to say that he has seen an advanced cut of Miami Vice and that it sucks ass. Bastard. He knows that it is the one movie (Clerks II aside) that I have been waiting for. I am still going, but it will be harder to get [...]

I have decided to save the world again. Who wants to help me build a cooperative to support the development of an Open Source rural community health records system? Anyone? 1160. Tags: Coffee, Cup, Blog, Open Source

I will be in Toronto in about a month and a half. Anyone want to hook up for coffee? Presh and I are going to attend TIFF and visit the Wonderfalls. I am hoping to erase the bad memories of my last trip. I wonder if Mr. Anderson is making the [...]

Thank you for the lovely emails. Yes, the pie was very yummy. For those who asked for the recipe please understand that although I am the son of a very talented baker, my talent is cooking not baking. Baking, as you know is a science. It requires precise measurement and consistent [...]

Greg writes: Lloyd, Glad you found our thread amusing (http://hokumi.blogspot.com/2006/07/what-guy-hasnt-done-this-before.html) and thanks for the great picture! I am a coffee drinker but nothing fancy. My Mr. Coffee does a good enough job for me. So as a potential Guest Cup picture, I offer this. And yes, I am a Mac fan. I recently bought that Apple [...]

Got some great press this morning. The Arizona Republic ran a nice article about blogging in the Valley. I got some nice mentions and they ran a photo by Presh. A Guest Cup arrives along with the usual request for links. There is a class of people, not the Guest Cup [...]

I was inspired by lemurchick to make a pie. It took five weeks for the inspiration to become pie but that is not a reflection on my muse. I have never made a blueberry pie, nor have I ever made a double crusted pie. I do not know why? Double crusted [...]

I dream of lazy Sundays at the café sipping brew and reading the funnies. I used to do that. What changed? When did my life get so interesting? 1156. Grapes got really expensive, non? 1157. Tags: Coffee, Cup, Blog, Grapes

Saturday morning finds us at the bagel place very early. We need to get another new tire and run a few errands. I have bought three new tires since moving here and had two flats repaired. 1154. Do you like the new cup? It came yesterday, but with the record heat and [...]

On the day when temperatures hit 118F (48C) I drive over a nail. Not much more I want to say about that. Bye. Tags: Coffee, Cup, Blog, Evil Fricking Heat

Next time I have a craving for a chicken sandwich I am going to resist it. 1153. Tags: Coffee, Cup, Blog

It started off as a normal day, but those kinds of days always do. 1152. Tags: Coffee, Cup, Blog

Ever wonder how a boring rural health policy wonk became a famous coffee blogger? Well the answer is www.godfather.com. Many years ago, while searching NetSol, I noticed that the domain www.godfather.com was available. I put in an order but I was too late or it was not really available. I ended [...]

I have been feeling nostalgic and have been chatting up Guest Cups of the past. This morning, I catch up with the patron saint of this blog, Mike Rowehl and find that I am such the wimp. Mike, as you remember, plucked this blog out of obscurity and set in motion a series [...]
