Cool and lovely

...is the morning, as I sit here zipping through email, checking on favorite sites and blogs, sipping the last of my homemade cappucino while waiting for my mom to make it downstairs for her breakfast. The guys are off at various pursuits, one to a client and the other sleeping off a late night's festivities spent with one of his buddies who just got out of college and back home. Just a few peaceful and stolen moments before we launch the rest of the day. The last of the coffee is tepid and lacks its crown of foam, but it tastes delightfully bitter, no sweetening to it.
Don Q. and Sancho have been "feted" by a duke and duchess they encountered; this swell pair is having the questers on for their own amusement. The intrepid errants are constantly and stupidly dazzled and overimpressed by the trappings of wealth. NOTHING changes.
