Sugar
Other than the presence of pets, working from a home brings you into contact with some unusual visitors. A gent, John I think, arrived to tune the piano late last week. I soon realized that any productive potential my day had would perish if John had his way and so I quickly offered to make him a cup of coffee, before I dashed back to my burrow.
He digressed into his coffee drinking habits, and then stumbled when he asked for 3 and a half spoons of sugar. It's a strange thing, sugar. Somehow sweet coffee has become socially unacceptable, and heaven forbid you prefer anything more than 2 spoons and milk - which is sort of the Toyota Corrola of coffee preference.
I say, stand up o ye' with a sweet tooth. Hold high the sugar spoon as you ladle free will into your mug. As a member of the no-sugar elite, I will stand with you in our shared love of coffee.
