OK – I like coffee. Just one, maybe two in the morning, it is the last of my morning rituals. Ascension meditation, exercise, coffee, then five or ten minutes to take stock of the priorities of the day. First priority:

“What do you think about this one?” It’s a tricky question after 3 hours of wandering around stores mean you feel more like the living dead than a human. You know it – one bathroom tile shop is kind of interesting. 4 shops, not so. And it’s raining so hard outside you know you’re missing
