Hello Folks

A few funny links this week – some are a bit tongue in cheek, and some are quite enlightening. My favorite may be the one about Alan Adler. He invented the Aerobie and the AeroPress. Love espresso? Hate wasting money at Starbucks? Buy an AeroPress on Amazon! It’s life changing.

Have a great week!
