Vero Espresso

This is going to be hard on my wallet. I am drinking my second coffee house cappucino this week. Second in two days in fact. Which is remarkable, since I usually don’t treat myself like this twice in a month, much less two days. The reason? It all starts with Stumptown coffee roasters, the purveyors of the finest small batch roasted coffee in all the world. I have driven upwards of two hours for a cup of their liquid delicious – formerly not available in a venue nearer than Portland. But no more; enter the greatest coffee house EVER!!! Vero Espresso in Eugene, Oregon at the corner of 14th and Pearl, is this coffee shop. They have comfy couches and good jazz and stumptown coffee. I half expected the cast of Friends to walk in and start being witty. In all, this is the coffee house Eugene has needed for ten years. Six stars on a 1-5 scale.

Testing Mobile Blogging

My three remaining readers, I am sorry to have kept you in suspense so long. I have been so wrapped up in the work I am doing with SEIU, and with playing with my new iphone (from which I am dispaching this very post) that I have been (and will likely continue to be) neglecting you. More to come, until then trust that you remain dear to my heart.
