This about sums it up…
“This coffee falls into your stomach . . . sparks shoot all the way up to the brain. From that moment on, everything becomes agitated. Ideas quick-march into motion like battalions of a grand army to its legendary fighting ground, and the battle rages. Memories charge in, bright flags on high; the cavalry of metaphor deploys with a magnificent gallop; the artillery of logic rushes up with clattering wagons and cartridges; on imagination’s orders, sharpshooters sight and fire; forms and shapes and characters rear up; the paper is spread with ink—for the nightly labor begins and ends with torrents of this black water, as a battle opens and concludes with black powder.” –Honore de Balzac

Coffee is a MUST.
Hi, Tricia. I just wrote about coffee at my blog too, but I won’t spam you.

I agree about the coffee. I LOVE coffee but it doesn’t like me. I take spurts that it and I can get along and then all the sudden it’s griping my gut again. So, lay off it for maybe a year to enjoy it for a few months again. I read a study on it once that talked about how coffee was one thing that caused the work day to go better, brighter, more productive. I believe the description by Honore de Balzac says it all!
