Over at Beacon Broadside, Blog Mistress Extraordinaire Jessie Bennett has posted a terrific video blog post she put together at Grendel's Den, one of the places that I talk about in my book where a big Supreme Court case involving religion took place. We had a beer, talked about Grendel's and religion, and then the Peet's Coffee next door, which now stands where a church used to be. I love both Grendel's and Peet's Coffee. Mmmmm, Peet's Coffee. I'm not one of those people who won't go to Starbucks (or to Dunkin' Donuts, for that matter, or even drink some sludge out of a cup I find on the street), but the coffee I buy to brew at home is always from Peet's, and if I have time to make it there for a cup or whatever I do. The only thing you have to be careful about is making sure that if you're in Peet's not to order like you're in Starbucks. Once I ordered a "tall" coffee at Peet's, and the barista glared at me before going to get my coffee. I realized my mistake and apologized profusely and felt like a doofus. The Peet's lady was actually very nice (the glare was just a joke glare), which is not surprising because everyone who works at Peet's is nice because why wouldn't they be, they work at the best coffee place around. Yay, Peet's. And Yay, Jessie!
I really must add, Yay, Jay! But it's so rhymey. Perhaps, Huzzah, Jay!
