    I hear you. There's a reason they cook the tea instead of leaving it green.

    Still, though, try that chai green one I recommend. It really has a nice cinnamon flavor. I drink it with cream (no sugar). Smells fantastic. I'm scared to try it with sugar because I'll probably like it so much I won't go back, and I really try to keep sugar out of my diet as much as I can.

    Truth is that if you carve most of the sugar out of your diet just about everything tastes a lot more delicious. I'm on a low carb phase of my diet and last night the wife and kids didn't want the rest of the lightly cooked broccoli with some butter on it. So I literally ate about a half gallon of it. Fucking delicious. But if I'd had it a few weeks back when I cycle out of low carb I would've shrugged and tossed it out.

    I wrote it. I used to dick around with words a while back, and just got a hankering.

    I'm glad you actually read it, that post took the better part of an hour to write.

    I thought this was a political post.

    Well, true tea connoisseurs don't use tea bags.

    That being said I like Tazo awake. For bags, good flavor. Lipton is ghastly. Reminds me of bad diners that give a cold cup, a Lipton tea bag, and a tiny pot of lukewarm water.

    Good writing about stealing ----> maybe it's stolen writing. Imagine how long it takes to write a book with good writing style. I've written a hundred-page bio of my father, but the style was Just the Facts, Ma'am. To later edit in flair would multiply the time required by 10.

    Ya, of course for school I have written papers, but as far as creative writing my longest was about 25 pages that I was pretty proud of, funny and original, but this was back in the floppy disk era. I have no idea if I still have it somewhere in my basement on some random boxed up floppy, but I know I'll never go looking for it.

    I actually have a novel idea that I've been kicking around for a few years, but it just seems too daunting. Perhaps in retirement.
