A Day Without Coffee
Fearing my self-proclaimed “Java slavery” (not to be confused with slaves in the Indonesian territory of Java), I decided to avoid coffee today and thereby prove I do not have an addiction. Because, really, who needs coffee?

“I have so many quarters, I could buy a horse!”
“I have so many quarters, I could buy a horse!” He proudly zinged, sorting through the change in his wallet. It was one of those malapropisms that makes being around foreigners (French, in this case) so delightful. The comment immediately went into the “Cocktail Party Anecdotes” storage section of my brain.
I laughed, then explained both that it was not an English expression and the current market...
