I have coffee most mornings. This morning: mocha.

It’s dark outside. Who turned off the lights?

I have an exam this week, so I shan’t be around much, I’m studying spectroscopy and memorizing instrument components.

Last night I started reading Mike Kupari’s Her Brother’s Keeper. So far? Homages to Drake, H Beam Piper, and Williamson. I can live with that.

I’ll try to have it done and reviewed by Friday, but no promises. I have the exam, and a big project, and homework and…

AuGH! I need more mocha.

    Not having infused enough yet myself, my first thought was “Wow! Cedar really goes overboard with her espresso machines…”

    But thank you for identifying – my eventual thought was “spectro,” not “chromato.”
