Latte Art

Those of you who know me know that I'm a little nuts about coffee. I'm crazy for lattes in particular. Last week I had the pleasure of sipping my favorite beverage at Caffe Artigiano downtown Vancouver. At Artigiano's the baristas are artists. A coffee isn't simply poured it is exactingly and exquistly created. And no matter how badly I want to drink my latte, it always takes me a few minutes to get up the nerve. If I sip it gently, the creation may keep most of its shape until near the end. Eventually though, it all ends up in my stomach. Yum.

Writing is like that. Someone takes the time, months or even years, to put together a novel and readers devour it. I like to think some readers take the time to savor my words but, hey, if they wolf it down that's okay too.

Curious Cat Meme

#1 What is your favorite "pig-out" food? For me it's Nachos. All the way.

#2 Of all the airports you've been in, which one would be the best one in which to be stuck for 12-15 hours? My own, Vancouver International. Great shopping and sushi!

#3 If you were in a "Noah" situation, which animals would you take with you? Which would you leave behind? Dogs, Cats and Horses would definitely have to come along. Rats and mosquitos would be left to fend for themselves.

#4 Think back to your childhood. What was something you were looking forward to doing/being as an adult? Have you done/been it? Yes, I became a writer! Other than that I wished for later curfews. Now that I can stay up late, I'm usually too tired.

#5 Which one entertainer would you like to have attend your funeral? Hmmm. Bono and I'd like him to sing.

Go ahead and post your answers in the comments section. I'm also going to tag my good friend Jana DeLeon. She travels a lot so I can't wait to read her answer to number two! And I'll tag Colleen Gleason because I'm curious about her answer to # 1 since she shares my love for Mexican food.
