~tatterdemalion, makes me think if ~jack was referencing you or me when it comes to the "recovering alcoholic" sentiment in his last post. I could very well be the middle-aged man struggling with my past/future - I don't know, either.
But here's to nice black coffee! :) I am having a Diet Pepsi at the moment, and listening to weird sounding music, but I will dedicate my next cup of Schnucks Classic Roast to you, and me, and the folks of The Midnight, who are a tighter/nicer/more sincere community than we may give ourselves credit for :)
later...
Thank you! I've thankfully never had a drinking problem, but my liver has been declared closed for business for other reasons. I *will* cop to being middle aged and struggling.
Here's to black coffee, the most resilient pleasure.
