My friend Liz gave me a quarter pound of Kenya Githima coffee from Stumptown Coffee Roasters in New York. Her friend works there in some managerial capacity. She described the friend as tall, British, and garbed in pinstripes and a fedora. She described the espresso as tasting of unicorns.
Coming in from the Cold

“One thing I like about winter,” my husband says every so often, “Is how good it feels to warm up after coming in from the cold.”
He describes stepping into a warm room, shrugging off a winter coat, then sipping hot chocolate or coffee. The clinging chill streams off clothes and skin until cold itself is just a memory. Perhaps there will be gingerbread cookies to share, or something equally delicious and seasonal. Maybe a tree in the corner, shimmering with tinsel and ornaments.

I don’t know how I came to regard this book with such a sense of wonder. Perhaps because I’m the type who doesn’t just read stories–I live them. Perhaps this one had just enough fiction in its reality, with a rabbit who is alive inside of his cotton-stuffed skin, and a decent sense of wonder himself, that I recognized a kindred soul on the pages.
