And there I am, talking with Frida, just in front of the coffee store, not even entering the place, and things are just delightful from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>SHE OPENED UP THE TEA BOX AND MY EYES MUST HAVE LIT UP.

The first time I went with her favorite. The woman has some taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thereafter I would simply say \u201cSurprise me.\u201d She hated it when I said that. That made me want to say it even more. I think I was in her room all of 10 times if that. Yet it all mattered so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee&nbsp;is the fuel to a hard long day followed by a harder, longer night.
