• Thank god for Christopher Columbus. I never would’ve felt like going to work today after all I accomplished at home this long weekend. #
• Pumpkin spice coffee season has arrived! Just brewed my first cup of @MelittaUSA‘s of the year. Just another reason fall is the best season. #
• I broke down & bought a @WaterPik flosser. Compared to the thousands I paid in dentist bills, it’ll be worth the $35 I guess. #
• I could use more weeks where I only have to commute to my office two days. #
• Spending the day in a waiting room with senior citizens who are discussing politics. Now I remember why I brought my iPod. #
• The seniors are now lamenting that there’s no longer a payphone on every corner. As a bonus, they want to disband the gov’t. Must not laugh. #

• It’s time of year again. Pumpkin spice coffee! @MelittaUSA makes the best. And they wake me up as I pass their roasting plant every morning. #
• XM Holly is playing a New Kids on the Block Christmas song. Program director has got to be a
  30 year old woman. #
• RT @amazonmp3: “use code MP34FREE to get $3 credit toward songs or albums at Amazon MP3. http://bit.ly/MP34FREE #MM” – great deal! #
• RT @PhillyInquirer: “Tip refuseniks to see charges dropped. http://bit.ly/72tFLo" – Hope they sue the Lehigh Pub. Forced tips are just wrong #
• Over the river and through the woods to Thanksgiving lunch we go. Happy Thanksgiving to all. #thanksgiving #

• @Target security guards are keeping people from cutting the line. Way to go! More stores need that on Black Friday. #
• Sears is letting a Ginsu salesman hand out free knives on Black Friday. This can’t end well. #
• 16 stores down. Breaking for lunch then on to more Black Friday madness. #blackfriday #
• About 20 stores & 3 malls later Black Friday shopping is done for another year. #blackfriday #
• A squirrel is burying animal crackers in my yard. I’m not gonna be happy if giraffes and tigers start sprouting up next spring! #

• Why does my tirimisu coffee taste a whole like my egg nog coffee? I think this is why I don’t drink many flavored coffees. #

Anyone who knows me knows I like coffee. No I’m not one of those fools who pays $8+ for a cup of lousy coffee at places like Starbucks. But, I’m definately addicted to my very cool Senseo coffee machine and love to stop at Dunkin Donuts anytime I think I can go in there without succumbing to the temptation of their donuts!

Now, according to this article on MSNBC, coffee might be good for you. It apparently can help ward off type 2 diabetes and may even help prevent certain cancers.

I doubt many of you remember Pespi Kona soda, but it was a coffee flavored cola that was test marketed in the Philadelphia region in the mid 1990′s. I though it was great, buta pparently I was alone because it never went into full production. (Learn more in this Honolulu Star Bulletin article from back in the day or from Wikipedia.)

Now, a new coffee flavored soda is coming out. Next year Coca-Cola will introduce Coke Blak. Read more here. I hope it’s nearly as good. (Even though I’m a Pepsi person.) We’ll see if they come out with a diet version.
