Was introduced at a little cafe in Chesterfield, MD, brought some beans home, bought a grinder, and now I order the beans from Cuvee. Somehow the best coffee I've ever had!

last night that we were eating ice cream and the happy birthday song was emanating
from the ice cream.

What do you think of that as an invention? Could sell it next to your camera that

PS Live in TX too and we've been trying to think of some unusual ways to film
bluebonnets that aren't just a field of bluebonnets. Thanks for the inspiration
