Life’s too short for…

… bad coffee.

So I decided a few years ago not to compromise. Rather have tea or water than instant coffee or even just bad filter coffee. It’s just not worth it. I figure there’s a finite number of coffee drinking occasions in your life… so don’t waste an occasion on a bad cup.

This morning I made a pot of espresso and for some reason, it was bad… it smelt and tasted burnt. So, as much as I really felt like a coffee - out it went. A small sacrifice - but worth it. Another occasion will arise… like right now. And boy-o-boy is it good.

Methinks there’s a general life lesson in there somewhere.

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
