Coffee stocks

As of today, we have Sumatra Mahndeling ( baker’s Chocolate, tobacco) , Guatemala Robusta ( caffiene-packed ) (cacao, roasted peanuts), both from Howell’s Fired Coffee, just roasted.

We are planning to roast coffees sourced from Genuine Origin ( a Volcafe subsidiary), Royal Coffees ( independent brokers ) and Sonofresco ( subsidiary of Coffee Holdings).

Comparing roasts

Your cub coffee reporter talkin’ ’bout coffee. Went to Scout Coffee in SLO picked up two packages of their coffee by HoneyCo Roasters. One 10 oz. Package of a Costa Rican Swiss Water Decaf and an Ethiopian light roast .

Great Coffee!

Other coffees I have sampled recently include coffees from Lanna Coffee Honey Artisan, Artisan, and French Roast.

Tried Tazz Coffee’s Tanzanian Peaberry, Maverick’s Roasting Company Tanzanian , Stumptown Roasters Indonesian and their “Mindbender”.

The coffees all taste like coffee. But when one waits for the last taste of each cup each cup tastes a bit different.

Caregiving

Cancer- not a nebula, -not an Astrological Sign, Not a Constellation. Cancer is an ailment, Primary, often fatal, is not always able to be arrested or stopped . Diet, environment, social networks all play a big part.

Caregiver- has to be selfless-utterly-

-minimal display of ego,

-act as if..

-crisis manager of the first order ( Might read Order of Merlin, First Class)

-willing-even if not

-Protective (like a Dachshund or Bulldog)

-Servanthood as Prime Directive for Leadership

-Plan, Plan, Plan-then be ready to throw out the plan and ask for help. -Always admitting to the Creator that all my self-will, self-knowledge and all in my power is puny and weak compared to Creator’s Power . Do not box The Creator in!

-ask the patient what they want-always

-meet them where they are

-apply any empathy you have left ALL THE TIME!

-fun- look for the little moments-

-quit watching the news

-minimize social network time ( except to blog or note)

-Love conquers all-even cancer!
