They shouldn't even have a presidential election in 2012. Unless something goes horribly wrong, there's no way Barack will lose.
Whichever arrogant fool wants to self-delude into becoming the Republican Walter Mondale is welcome to, I guess, but we could all save a lot of time, money, and mental energy if the GOP just figured out by about July 2011 if they have any realistic shot at all or not. My guess is they won't.
Spare us.

I have left and I have returned.
I got busy. Sorry.
I am now a real pastor - I was installed on August 24th as pastor of Nazareth Lutheran Church in Baltimore and Christ Lutheran Church in Dundalk.
Good times.

Coffee
Two things have changed my coffee life.
Before I go on wasting time while I should be finishing my sermon, I need to let you know that I love coffee. Love. Coffee is wonderful.
Having said that, my coffee love has been taken to strange new places with the introduction of two new things - cold brewing and a local roaster.
I first read about cold brewing in the New York Times a couple of months ago. I read up on it and discovered the Toddy cold brew coffeemaker. Calling it a coffeemaker is a bit of an overstatement. It's like a big plastic brew basket for a real coffeemaker. But it is easier and probably quite a bit less messy. Cold brewing results in less acid and a much nicer flavor. I have never been a fan of black coffee, i like the creaminess of, uh, cream, and the sweetness of sugar, but I will drink coffee made in my Toddy black. I like to mix it with milk, but I have discovered I don't really need sugar. Incredible.
The second thing is my local coffee roaster. I have had locally roasted coffee in St. Louis (Kaldi's) and Alexandria (Misha's) before, but neither are the bestestest ever. My new place here in Baltimore is Zeke's, and they are awesome.
Together, these twin awesomes have collided and changed my world. I will only drink coffee I cold brew myself. I no longer like Dunkin Donuts iced coffee. If you know me, you might realize the depth of this statement.
I'm going to start keeping a coffee diary as I try new coffees. Stay tuned, loyal reader!
