on February 29, 2008Nice one! Reminds me to put the kettle on for another mug of Earl Grey! Driving home tonight I heard a fascinating discussion on the reason for the leap day, how different calendars manage, and why it is at the end of February. Try explaining it to a Martian!

on February 29, 2008Nice shot. Nice cup. I usually prefer a thick beer stein (thick glass, 12oz) - seems to keep the coffee hotter a bit longer and less trips to the kitchen for a dose of caffeine. Speaking of which... I'm off to the kitchen.. :)
