Way Too Much Coffee, Man
Earlier this week, Starbucks opened its first retail center in a Pikeville Food City supermarket, the only one in a twenty or even fifty mile radius. I had thought about opening a franchise myself, about ten to twelve years ago, in connection with my book store, Booknotes, but my 'financial advisor' thought it would cost way too much to do so, even with the probable profit to be made. Another reason why I didn't open up any sort of coffee shop at all is because I don't drink coffee. I don't even like the smell of it. Part of the reason stems from when I was a child. My mother would used to make coffee all the time, and dump the used grounds in with other sorts of garbage. That sight would always make me feel sick to the stomach. So much so, that the smell of coffee would make me sick. I couldn't even stand the slight taste of coffee found in candies and cakes. I would have to spit it out. The almost reached into other hot beverages, like tea and hot chocolate. I don't really drink any of those either. Another reason is because I feel that if I ever started drinking, and enjoying, coffee, it would finally make me a complete adult. Don't get me wrong, I am an adult, even thought I frequently act and feel half my age, or little more than that (even if teenagers seem to be drinking it now). I just don't want to be reminded of it. I think that taking one of those few last steps would finally end my childhood fantasies, and I will have to grow up. I don't really have any much of an interest in many so-called adult things, such as golf or retirement plans. I know I will have to do something about such matters and soon. Coffee still remains a sticking point. I don't even drink many caffeinated beverages, barely one can of pop every other day. Sometimes, I drink naturally uncaffeinated drinks, such as root beer. Let's not forget my long-time insomnia that pops up now and again. I just think coffee is not quite what it is cracked up to be. It is what it is, I can't say anything more. See you next week with a full explanation of last week code challenge.
