Duties of a son, from The Story of Aqhat: To erect a stele for his ancestral gods; to build a family shrine in the sanctuary; to guard his footsteps from earth to underworld; to take his hand when he is drunk; to put his arm over one's shoulder when he is full of wine; to eat a funeral meal in the temple of Ba'al; to offer a sacrifice in the house of El.

Amen! If it weren't for God's gift of coffee there would be no seminary for me, I'd have failed out two years ago. Thanks for the quote Dr. Cook, I'll use it frequently.
As I am sipping my coffee at 10:29 at night, trying to write a paper, I echo Steve's sentiments!
My brother in law just gave up coffee; I don't know how he could do it!

If I might make a plea . . . one should try both coffee and tea with a French press. It makes the coffee and tea come alive. I have a French press that I paid $$$ and I have not regretted the money I paid for it not a single time. Get the beans whole and grind them yourself - keep them in the freezer when you are not grinding. Likewise, I only buy Earl Grey Silver tips and keep them in the freezer as well. Great for cold days and for warming up the throat right before a lecture.
I first experienced the French Press in Scottland, and I could not agree more about its advantages. We were staying at a fancy place, and each afternoon they would offer to "organize a tea" for us, which would include coffee, scones with clotted cream, and the works. Unforgettable... --S.
