w for the unparalleled pleasure. It's the dopamine of the day. It's the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Yeah, that's so good. Wel

I know you're interested in all things coffee because my kitchen was being worked on yesterday, and I cleverly took everything that I would need out of the kitchen and put it in a different room so that while the kitchen was being worked on and I didn't have access to it because the floor was being worked on, I would have everything I needed. And the one thing I forgot, I even moved the coffee maker, all the coffee. I forgot a mug. So here I was all prepared yesterday, and I didn't have a mug to put my coffee in. How unhappy was I? Well, I drove immediately to the local Starbucks and bought myself a couple of mugs.
Anyway, how many of you have seen my pinned tweet in which I asked for people to show me all their best memes for 2021? Does anybody spend any time looking at that? Let me just say, oh my god.

boop, you're in and out. It's like you weren't ever there. But if you read them all at once, you just sort of live in them for a while. You will cry. I mean you will cry laughing until I was feeling like something was going to give out in my actual guts. I can't recommend it enough. Do yourself a favor. Just spend 10 minutes.
