Friday Five :: Songs about Coffee
Songs about Coffee As my blog side-descriptor will attest, I am a coffee lover, as well as a music obsessive. Coming up with a list of songs about coffee is something I have done more than once, I even have a few Spotify playlists of that caffeinated ilk. So, as I sit here with music playing out of my work space speakers, and have a coffee at the ready on my right side, it occurred to me that today’s Friday Five could be songs about coffee. Tea will get its time, too, so those of you are tea enthusiasts (I play at … Continue reading Friday Five :: Songs about Coffee

Elle had loved it … Continue reading Now she’s gone :: SOTD
My Top 300 Movies :: 91-95
91. Catch and Release This is not a great film by any stretch of the imagination, it is full of flaws and at times derivative plot twists, but I love the characters and their stories, regardless. Maybe its the cast, filled with so many favorites of mine (Jennifer Garner, Kevin Smith, Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis), or maybe it just hits a soft spot of mine – families made of choice and circumstance that are not your “family”.
