Re: Mind's Eye coffee

Good to see you again, Don. Our family called this Hot Toddy and it
was the initial cure for everything from a sore throat to pneumonia.
At 110# I had a storied past of drinking others under the table- back
in the day- until...:-) Really do not miss alcohol but oddly I can
still "taste" whiskey, martinis, bloody Mary's, dry white wine,
champagne and cold beer, etc. Yesterday, a glazed blueberry doughnut
seemed a great substitute for a "fix" after househunting with realtor
friends for one of my children.//You are right about the migration and
our roots from what I know about the subject.
