Feels Like Winter (Well, a California Winter)

Okay, it's not this cold (Image: bestphotos.us)

There will never be a winter in the Bay Area as cold as the ones I remember in Wisconsin. I still have a very clear memory of dropping a box of crayons in the driveway and them shattering -- because it was THAT cold! This morning one sign read 42 degrees, which may not seem very cold to many, but the wind was howling, which means it had to feel like it was in the 30s.

So, wherever you are in the U.S., stay warm; and here's what I keep in my mug on chilly days.


Peet's Coffee
Every morning it's a medium in a large cup for me. The original location is on Vine Street in North Berkeley, CA.

Republic of Tea
In the afternoon I try to stay to tea. I really enjoy this company's tea blends; they're based in Novato, CA.
