It's a bit confusing, but I like the ending. It's almost funny, without actually being funny, if that makes sense. Dry wit, perhaps. There's something eloquent about this piece, even if it's short and has no full substance. It's an enjoyable read. Good job.

Seems to me you and that coffee go back a long way... :-)

Anyway, thanks a bunch. And it reminds me that I really ought to tell you what's the in-joke about Feast Day chapter 5. (If you can't follow my chain of associations: it all comes down to coffee. Or rather, coffee is behind it all. Get it? ;) )
