Mountain Biking
I haven't raced my bike in a really long time. Haven't even ridden much in the last couple years. But for some reason, yesterday I got the idea that I might go race today. And then when I woke up this morning, despite it raining ALL day yesterday, I decided to go. And I rounded up the troops very quickly.
We drove through Bartlesville to Osage Hills State Park. The race was three 6-mile loops. And it was so f'ing muddy that the third lap was pretty much un-ridable. But I suffered through it. Even though it sucked.
When I came back to the coffeeshop, one of my employees was asking me about the espresso grind. Seemed like the espresso was coming out too fast. I had a conniption fit on the inside and tried, as calmly as possible (for me), to tell the employee to change the grind constantly. Like this: changing the grind for espresso is like shifting gears on a mountain bike. Do it every time you pull a shot if you need to.
I'm roasting coffee again; and Amy is here from San Francisco watching my every move...
Still no word back from Starbucks.

What is Amy's impression of our fair city of Tulsa?
Amy really liked Tulsa. She left this morning, but I think it was with reservation. She said she felt comfortable here, and enjoyed the people. And who could resist DoubleShot coffee? I'm sure it was different than she expected, and not everything went off the way we had planned, but it was a good week. I enjoyed having her here-- she's a cool chick. She "gets it."
