I felt ... treated, I guess. But somehow it wasn't like having
coffee. I mean coffee! Real coffee doesn't come with recycled
paper packets of pure, organically grown brown sugar. Real coffee
doesn't have tiny plastic cups full of almond-flavored cream.
Real coffee can be served in real coffee shops or in real
kitchens, but mostly it's a blessed combination of water at a
rolling boil in a blue-and-white and soot-colored coffeepot over a
fire with real flames. It is made when the pot is pulled off the
flames, and 10 seconds later someone pours two hermans of coffee
into the top. (A herman, of course, being a cubic fistful). Then you
wait for 27.2 seconds, give or take, until all but a few grounds hit
bottom.
Now that's coffee with the hair still on. Coffee for making
memories. Coffee that slaps your face and demands your attention.
And it doesn't cost as much as a new fly rod, either.
