I am ready to have an adult beverage and watch "Wolverine" for something mindless. Mom has been changed for bed and I am supremely relaxed. One of the things it has take me many years to discover it how to be relaxed about many things that could be stressful. The secret is look at the work you have put in and if you have done everything you can do then why be stressed? Take some time to breath, catch some vitamin D from the sun, have a cup of good coffee and enjoy yourself.

Speaking of coffee let me tell you what I do to make a superb pot of coffee. Buy your favorite beans and either grind them at the store, or on your own cold burr grinder, on the Turkish grind setting. This will cause your coffee to drip much slower, but will extract much more flavor as a result and you will use LESS coffee as it is such a fine grind. I like to make a pot of Espresso roast (6 scoops for 12 cups) or a blend of Colombian (4 scoops) and Dark French (2 scoops) and this will make you a very rich cup of coffee, using less coffee and as a result saving money. You might find that a few strips of orange zest in your coffee cup will add some ZEST (pun intended) to your taste buds.

Basically, if I can have the quality of what I want and like, and save money at the same time, then I am a very happy man and I will be happy to share this with you.

Bon Nuit and Sweet Dreams,
Stephen
