Endangered Coffee: March 2006
http://endangeredcoffee.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Primed for a comeback. Maybe. Wednesday, March 15, 2006. I twisted my ankle over the weekend. That’s it. End of the story. I was taking out the trash, I stepped off a step that was about six inches high into the gravely area around the trash barrels and I rolled over on my ankle. Oh yeah, then I cussed a bit. Carrie was down in the basement switching the laundry and heard the cussing, so she gets concerned and comes out to see me sitting on the step rubbing my ankle. Twisted my ankle, I said. I’m pretty ...

Endangered Coffee: May 2006
http://endangeredcoffee.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Primed for a comeback. Maybe. Monday, May 22, 2006. Counting money is fun. All of this is basically a long-winded approach to let you know I like kids and I’m pretty darn patient with them. Unless the little kid is in front of me in a mini-van at the ATM drive-through lane trying to use the ATM machine. For the love of God, just get the kid an Easy-bake ATM machine and let him do this at home, I scream at the mini-van. Well, scream in my head. Aren’t I just so smart? And I’m only 36. Not a specific fanny...

Endangered Coffee: October 2005
http://endangeredcoffee.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Primed for a comeback. Maybe. Thursday, October 27, 2005. Next stop - pit crew. I have never been good with cars. Driving them, fixing them, maintaining them, at times, even paying for them. Bad, bad, bad and bad. About the only automotive-related area I've shown any real skill at is remaining calm and under control when a tire blows out on my car on the highway, although even this probably has some inverse relation to my being bad at maintaining cars. But the third time, the third time, oh, foolish pride.

Endangered Coffee: December 2005
http://endangeredcoffee.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Primed for a comeback. Maybe. Thursday, December 01, 2005. As a kid, I didn't exactly have the best record sticking with the various lessons my parents signed me up for. I think the shortest activity I ever took part in were tennis lessons at the town playground, where I lasted for about half a lesson, precisely long enough to learn how to grip the racket. Even with a moderately long list of failed lessons behind me, I did hold out hope for my fifth grade endeavor, karate lessons at the YMCA.

Endangered Coffee: September 2005
http://endangeredcoffee.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Primed for a comeback. Maybe. Thursday, September 29, 2005. Can I get a Red Sox work visa? What the hell is "Red Sox Nation" anyway? Then about two years ago, every newspaper, every local broadcast, and every radio personality began referring to this "Red Sox Nation" like it was some kind of fully-vested new country with its own system of checks and balances, official embassies and diplomats and a treasury spitting out official "Big Papi" currency - legal tender at all local 7-11s. For the better part of...

Endangered Coffee: February 2006
http://endangeredcoffee.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Primed for a comeback. Maybe. Friday, February 17, 2006. Headline of the day on CNN.com. Shooting victim apologizes to vice president. Now if we can just get the Kurds to apologize to Saddam. Posted by endangered coffee at 5:32 PM. Thursday, February 16, 2006. That will show those pesky Danes. In retaliation for caricatures of the Muslim prophet, the confectioners' union of Iran ordered danish pastries renamed "Roses of the Prophet Muhammad.". Posted by endangered coffee at 5:55 PM. Read a book today.

Endangered Coffee: November 2005
http://endangeredcoffee.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Primed for a comeback. Maybe. Thursday, November 17, 2005. Yes, for one glorious season, I was a football player. So many good, macho, hard-hitting moments, I hardly know where to begin. So I went to Steve's Sporting Goods, bought my mouthpiece and a couple of rolls of athletic tape and thought I was ready to go out and hit the gridiron the next day. What I did notice, however, was that all the other player's mouthpieces seemed to be molded to their teeth. What the hell? Then I must of been jetting for t...

Endangered Coffee: August 2005
http://endangeredcoffee.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Primed for a comeback. Maybe. Wednesday, August 31, 2005. With the hysteria that the media creates over every impending snowfall and gust of wind, the recent catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina shows that is possible to underestimate the destructiveness and tragedy unleashed by Mother Nature. The storm passed days ago, yet it is still nearly impossible to grasp the full impact of the damage left in its wake. A major American city seemingly is wiped off the map. So what can we do about this tragedy? This bri...

Endangered Coffee: April 2006
http://endangeredcoffee.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Primed for a comeback. Maybe. Friday, April 21, 2006. Outgrowing my trousers, the sequel. There has been a major change in my life. There also was some question on Easter as to whether or not there was some pant-waist rollover going on. I adamantly fought this charge, although I spent much of the holiday checking my belt line to make sure everything was going straight across. But these are minor quibbles. For the most part, it’s nice to be able to breathe easy again. Posted by endangered coffee at 1:18 PM.
