Shawn - besides coffee (which I agree is a modern miracle and fuels everything), and golf, I happen to like the picture of your Frenchie. I have two brindle females - one of whom looks exactly like your buddy. I'll post their pictures soon.
On coffee, my son-in-law turned me on to cold brew and I have to say that I like it better than iced coffee (brewed hot then poured over ice). Cold brew tastes richer to me without the bitterness you sometimes get. At my house today we had to use the French press since the main machine was being descaled. My wife and I calculated that we have at least five different ways to make coffee - brew, press, K-cup, Nespresso, and cold brew.
