    Poetry -- yet another talent of yours!

    Looks like a blast. Except for that whole exertion thingy.

    I'm not sure I would call poetry a talent...

    But exertion? Now that's something I'm well-versed in.

    Iambic Pentameter?
    Something like that..
    How refreshing to see Ptown lit up in a wonderful mini photo montage with Nic and I included! Yay!It only gets better my dear, fall is coming, I don't think you have that up in Bouldertown, it's called a season.

    We're actually enjoying that very season at the moment.

    Thanks for everything. You made Portland even more magical!

    Spanish Coffee....mmmm.

    As a Haber, I should have guessed that you would be familiar with Huber's. Spanish coffee is the perfect afternoon pick-me-up, no?

    Actually, my first spanish coffee experience came from a little dive bar/Mexican place in Cambria, CA when I was there for a wedding. 'Twas the night before the wedding and the bar was empty so we decided to ask the bartender if he had anything special he liked to make. Next thing you know he's lighting 151 on fire, grating fresh nutmeg, whipping fresh cream....needless to say it was the most unexpected thing you can possibly imagine given the surroundings. This is all in a little town that doesn't even get cellphone reception and a bartender that could have been the Dude if the Dude also surfed every day. It was one of the best nights ever and I'll always have a special place in my heart for that magic drink.

    So, the first thing I did when I got home from that trip was google 'spanish coffee' to see if it even existed outside of this awesome bartender, so that's when I found about about Huber's. And yes, as a Haber I'm happy to see that a Huber is behind such awesomeness, I need to get out to Portland and check it out.

    My favorite is the pic of you two at the end. Awesome.

    And how awesome that I couldn't even fake a smile?

    That's just how exhausted I was...
