Blog Entry 32 of 32 The Caffiend

I love coffee. That pretty much is all anyone really needs to know about me. I am a caffeine fiend - or a caffiend, a word I concocted about two minutes ago. I have a hot cup of Seattle's Best 6th Avenue Bistro sitting in front of me right now. I don't know a lot about coffee, but I can grind it and make it and drink it like it's going out of style. I usually have a cup of coffee in my hand. I suppose my character and personality do surge deeper than the 10-cup level. I dig fine art. I love to paint and draw. I like to sit in my living room and play the guitar (and drink coffee) on Saturday mornings. Hanging out with my wife Elise and daughter Laurel...those times are the best. I love fly-fishing, stepping into a clear stream and setting the day-to-day grind adrift. And I can sit and stare out the window at the mountains for a really long time. Elise says I'm "watching out." I think it's my way of meditating. Or maybe it's caffeine overdose.

I attended my daughter Laurel's eighth-grade graduation on Thursday. It was a happy and proud moment for our family of three.

Laurel looked so grown up. The little kid who once smeared her naked body with mud and proclaimed that she was the "Black Power Ranger" has become a young woman. Elise and I realized and celebrated this passage in Laurel's life, though Laurel didn't make a big deal out of it.

I've said it before and I'm saying it again. YourHub is a great place for you to share photos and stories about the big moments in your life.

We'd love to see some of your graduation photos, or shots from the party afterward. Did you or anyone in your family win end-of-year awards or earn a scholarship? Do you know any young athletes who played on a championship team, or who won a medal at the state track meet?

These kinds of honors make great neighborhood news. They're our stories, the stories that make our lives richer. Write them and post them on YourHub. Find it at ColoradoSprings.com. If you need help with the YourHub program, please e-mail tim.bergsten@coloradosprings.com or call 636-0125.
