Coffee
I've never been a coffee guy. Anytime I've tried it, the taste has totally turned me off. The odd thing is that I think that gourmet coffees smell really good. I love the smell of a coffee shop.
Generally smell and taste go hand in hand but not in this case apparently. My mother in law is a huge coffee drinker and we often joke about it. We often look for deal on coffee for her. So far not cheap krups coffee makers but mostly the actual ground beans.
We even keep a coffee maker for her at our house that never comes out of the closet when she isn't there. Even my sister takes advantage of that when she is in town.

Cool Memory
One of my only memories of my Great Grandpa was when we visited him and he gave me and my sister a silver dollar. I don't remember much about the encounter but for some reason it sticks in my mind. I still have the dollar too.
So I guess if you are trying to impress some kids with a gift then buy morgan silver dollars and give them each one. Hey, it worked in my case, but then again who knows exactly why some memories stick and others don't.
Either way silver dollars are pretty cool. Not something you see everyday.
Just a thought.

Who to call?
I am in a great position as far as I'm concerned. I have yet to need the services of a lawyer in any direct way. I hope that trend continues. If I did ever need one, I would have no idea who to call.
I would probably search google and see what happened. If I lived in NC then using the search business lawyers raleigh nc. Or I could just put out an APB on Facebook and see what folks recommend.
These types of things always work best with a preexisting relationship. Similar to having a mechanic you can trust. Not always easy to find but worth holding on to when you do.

Lent
This year for some inexplicable reason I decided to give up one of my very favorite things. Pop.
Now, I mostly drink diet anyway so it won't be a huge deal for me calorie-wise but I am trying to make a meaningful sacrifice during this time. This should count as I typically crave the stuff like nobody's business.
My wife decided to give up sweets of all kinds. I think that that would be pretty hard to manage since it's tough to define everything that is a sweet. Neither of us smoke but take this for example. Are Swisher Sweets, sweets? Either way, no sweets for her until at least after Easter.
I will try to be nice and not eat too many sweets in front of her. :)

Durability
On of the things that always amazes is me is when you see patio furniture that looks like it could go in any living room and not look out of place. The cushions and fabric look and feel just like a normal couch.
My question is, if they can make couches durable enough to survive as patio furniture then why can't they make them durable enough to withstand my kids and dog?
Maybe the best solution for me would be to buy a patio set instead of couches the next time I go shopping for furniture. Then perhaps they would last more than a year without looking like they had sat outside forever.
