I was trying and failing to write a concise 140-character tweet/plurk about this morning, and then realized, oh, yeah, I have this neglected Weblog, or blog, thing, huh.
So my recent attempt to steer away from Starbucks coffee and pastry and towards work-kitchenette tea and brought-from-home bagel–in a spartan attempt to promote my health and wallet–lasted all of one day before I decided to treat myself. I went with Thom to his regular morning haunt, Martha & Bros., which may become my regular haunt now as well. Not that I have anything against Starbucks per se, but it’s kind of nice to support the local guys.
I’m now sipping a caramel latte and nibbling on “morning glory” cake. Yum.
The other plus is the friendly staff, one cute cashier in particular. I told Thom, “Uh huh, I see why you come here.”
“I come here for the coffee.” He added, “But yeah, that doesn’t hurt.”

I love that little Pixie. 🙂 We got to see her at the Paley Center event for Pushing Daisies this year and she’s just darling and effervescent. (Squee!)

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a cute barrista (barristo?). In fact, I suspect that fully half of the revenues attributed to “coffee” are actually due to “cute freakin’ kids serving coffee”.
