“Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy,” said Scarlet. That was my little girl’s response when I asked her about the difficulty of her 1st grade math class. Man, I wish I could say that was the case for anything in the adult world. It all seems to take longer, cost more, extract more mental energy, and cause more stress. At times it is hard not to be cynical. On the other hand, if you want an opportunity to absolutely laugh your ass off, I highly recommend playing the old classic “20 questions” with a six-year-old. It should be renamed “20 guesses” as logical questioning is abandoned one or two questions in. It goes something like this:

“Is it an animal?”
“No.”
“Is it a mouse?”
“No.”
“Is it bigger than you?”
“Yes”
“Is it a dinosaur?”
“What? I said it wasn’t an animal.”
“Is it a dead mouse?”
“That’s still an animal.” (Trying very hard not to laugh).
“Is it a crumb?”
“A crumb? No. Don’t you want to ask questions that might help you to get to an answer?”
“OK Daddy, is it the Serious Tower?”
(Since she meant to say Sears Tower, I am now laughing hysterically as are Scarlet and my wife, Emily.) “No.”
“Can I have a clue?”

Back to “Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.” If you want a couple of coffees that are both easy to drink, yet all out stunners from different ends of the flavor spectrum, check out our current Yirgy from the Kurimi Project and our Matalapa Micro-Lot from the Los Inmortales Project. If only everything were that easy.
