Some notes. I miss Gaylord Fields. I'm glad it's not savagely hot right now. Thank you for the LOVELY birthday tribute last week. Made my whole day better. Coffee with almond milk= terrible. Wish I could sleep in, just can't. Looking very forward to our trip to the East Coast. I own a lot of stuff. Most of it, crap. There are things I wish would last forever, and some I wish would end immediately. Thanks for listening. Good morning Baby! Good morning MSS fans.

Interestingly - first time I ever had coffee with (Trader Joes') soy milk was at your house.

These days, oat milk is my fav non-milk. Excellent blended w. a banana!

Oat milk, eh? Noted. Almond milk, the unsweetened type is not good for much. I’m a soy milk guy from way back.
