Morning Coffee – Shock and Awe Edition

I’m not sure what happened in my sleep that would lead me to wake up with shock and awe in my head. I imagine it can’t be good whatever it is. So, of course, instead of REALLY looking into myself to find out what’s wrong, I went straight to the movie Tank. I don’t...

Morning Coffee – The Passover/Easter Edition

Passover and Easter are aligned at the same time this year and are holidays of faith centering around rebirth and forgiveness and renewal. These holidays of faith do not have a huge Easter bunny stalking children with gifts of chocolate eggs, but large rabbits sort of give me the wiggums so it might just...
