An Unfinished Project

My guess is that blogs can be broken into three categories. Those that write prolifically about anything and everything, those that write half-a-dozen posts before giving up entirely, and then there's the rest of us. By that I mean those who stop-start-stop-apologize for not blogging in a while-start again and write profusely-stop-apologize again-start-then disappear for an undetermined period of time. I place myself firmly in this last category.

And yet I've never felt like I was done with blogging even though the general popularity of it has seemed to fade somewhat. (Please be assured that I am most certainly not done with coffee!) Unfortunately I allowed Views from a Coffeehouse to become another in a fairly extensive list of unfinished projects - along side sorting out photos, putting pictures up, getting in shape, editing home videos, memorizing poetry, cleaning out the den, and goodness knows how many books.

So here I am again almost five years to the day when I first started and I'm going to give it another go. I still want to tell you about the things I'm seeing/hearing/reading over coffee. I might do some coffee videos. I'd like to write up my personal history of coffee. Plus I never did actually fully write about when I visited every Starbucks in Ireland - though I'm not sure there's much point. Once you've been to one Starbucks.....

Speaking of the 'bucks, I have noticed that the stats which now are available for me show my post about McCafe vs Starbucks as the most visited page. If you google "mccafe vs starbucks" I come out as number 2 in the USA and UK and number 1 in Ireland! I'm just a little bit proud of that insignificant achievement.



Right, I've just used my new hand grinder (thanks mother-in-law) and brewed some beans from Machacamarca, Bolivia using my aeropress. Time to find out how to freshen up this whole blog a bit and get going again.

To Coffee!
