It’s been awhile and I’ve decided that I will commit to posting at least once a week, even if it is brief.

A lot has happened since my last post: Slow Food Nation in San Francisco (a smashing success), the opening of our New York Training space in SoHo, Black Cat Espresso going 100% Direct Trade, our Venice store beginning construction, a successful Great Lakes Barista Jam, Intelligentsia’s 13th anniversary, and many other good things. Although challenging and sometimes tiring due to quite a few cross country flights, things seem to be coalescing in a way that I hadn’t necessarily expected.

I guess the sad news is that the Cubbies got crushed in three games and the economy appears to be scary, to say the least. So for the three of you (thanks Mom, Dad and other) that read my blog, look forward to more frequent posts. I gotta ask: Should I go picture free (as in a great book) or add pictures (so as to be part of the “look at me I’ve taken a picture of everything” generation)? I eagerly await you responses.

Over and in/out.
