My mid-week cup of Ethiopia from Libra Coffee.

What a weird week…for me. Last week was the first time since October that I wasn’t eyeballs deep in recording, writing, selling or producing the Roast! West Coast podcast. I thought it would be a nice break, and it was, for a day. Then I got bored.

To fill the time I drank coffee-an Ethiopia from Libra Coffee and a Columbia from ‘Stache. It was too much coffee. I was getting the jitters and unable to sleep. So instead of taking a break, I started planning Season 2. When I plan I make lists. Lots of lists all over the place. On paper. On my computer. I text them to myself if I’m on a hike or bike ride. None of them make any real sense alone, but when combined on the wall like Charlie trying to find Pepe Silvio they do make sense…to me.
