I guess I'm now a decaf-er

For some reason, I don't handle coffee in my system like I used to. It seems like all of a sudden my normal 12 oz latte makes me feel shaky, squirmy, and overall uncomfortable. What a shame, too! I love coffee so much, so I'm making the switch to decaf.

So today I went to the best coffee shop I have discovered thus far in my everlasting quest for coffeehouse perfection: Pioneer Coffee in Cle Elum. The only things that are wrong: it's not within walking distance and the pastry selection is both limited and lackluster. However, I suppose if I can't walk there I probably don't need a case of patisserie temptation beckoning seductively. Anyway, the coffee is great, the seating and atmosphere is a mixture of cozy and sophisticated, the baristas are sweet and knowledgeable, and they sell wine!

All in all it's been a lovely day...except it snowed again and the NY Times crossword seems unreasonably difficult.
