Toot, Toot! Is that my Horn?

News of the day yesterday was that my ad in 425 magazine is out!

See the November/ December issue, four pages from the back (pg. 168).

The ad features the beautiful gift certificate that Maren made for me.

It's a small victory.

Peets Coffee

I am not the coffee connoisseur that Brody is (exhibit A, exhibit B), but I just tried Peet's "Pumpkin Spiced Latte" and have mixed feelings.

First, I must say that the Peet's crowd is very different than that of Starbucks. They wear wool socks. I saw unshaven faces. The baristas weren't clones.

I just finished my alleged PSL and I'll be damned if there was any pumpkin or spice. Despite this, the coffee was pretty good, but very strong. The caffeine is working as evidenced by my unsolicited, yet energetic email to Maren about starting a greeting card business online and the fact that I am writing this post.

I love my Starbucks PSL. It's one of the highlights of the fall season.
