bought a subscription for my wife as a Valentine's Day present. Brewed some this morning. Wow. Peter knows what he's doing! Good stuff!

The subscription he purchased has a decent discount built into it (as bait) because it helps me to plan, and it locks a customer in for the duration (rather than have spotty orders every now and then, not to mention it gives me the money up front as opposed to it trickling in over 12mos. But when the USPS rate hike went into effect it killed me because it took another buck-ten out of the already reduced price.
Out of the blue, Edward sent me an e-mail explaining that he also is in business and knows how the rate hike would hurt someone like me. He offered to pay more money! Can you believe that? He mailed me a check for $15, which in my book is awesome, and typical of the wonderful people that make up this forum.
Reflections in a can of c-rat coffee
How many times
did you sit up with me?
Kindle my thoughts,
be my only friend.
how many times did I ask you
for an answer?
Sitting in my hole at night
waiting together
to die, maybe.
You were my only company,
you kept me going.
I forsake the world sometimes,
yes.
But never you.
Don’t you see,
you were my friend
and I was yours.
I looked into your
black depths
and was nourished
by your warmth.
Sometimes you would not
let me rest.
I hated you for that.
But how could a grunt
hate his only friend?
A lot of time
has passed now.
But I still have you.
Old friends are the best.
