short latte, please.......

ok, so i don't get out much anymore......or at least not in any leisure-oriented manner......and certainly not for coffee....and so it was with intense amusement/envy that i read this piece from slate.dom about the cheapest way to enjoy the best coffee at starbucks......for the record, the only coffeeoutlet on my way to work is mcdonald's, which is off of my list bywayof newyear's resolution to not buy high calorie fastfood ...i couldn't go to the trouble of waiting in the line of cars without ordering an eggmcmuffin and hashbrown to go with my coffee....and since i never leave home without my own hot coffee....there would be no point......danville does have a lovely coffeehouse....the hub.....which could serve up a scrumptous latte, short or tall......but it is incredibly inconvenient for those traveling in the other direction, or taking children to school......and by the time i reverse the process in the afternoon, coffee is not on my radar, not even decaf.......and so......back to the amusement/envy part.......i do envy those who hang out at the hub.......using the free wi-fi....and sipping the luscious latte.......and chatting with those aquaintences who rush in or out......the hub is probably the closest that danville has to an epicenter........if and when i ever win the lottery i will schedule hub-time.....to drink my latte with the other regulars before setting out to do less public things.......and to those blessed with the free time to hang out at the hub......please keep those interesting downloads coming.......think of me when you come across damien rice or sufjan stevens or jeff buckley......and mountain goats......
