Coffee and Concentration

October 20, 2025

First of all, anybody who knows me knows I love coffee. I live on the stuff. I have to consciously control my intake so I don’t have too much (yes, Toto, you can have too much) but that doesn’t mean I don’t crave it anyway.

This is a cortado from the venerable Espresso Vivace, in Seattle:

And, yes, I can drink coffee at night without any trouble sleeping. I know, I know, a sure sign of addiction, and you’re right, I am not only a coffee addict, I am a Coffee Achiever!

Yes! I am just like Heart! Just like Kurt Vonnegut! I am the New American Society! You can be, too!
