Emerging From Hibernation
Behold. . . the bear awakeneth, and bestirreth himself!
And you know what bears do when they wake up from their hibernation, right?
They reach for a cup of coffee! Yup—that is what they do! ;)
Either that, or they send somebody down to Starbuck's to fetch them a cappucino!
Of course, Percy at Antimisandry makes a standing offer on a horn of ale, but hey. . . ale for a groggy ursus horriblis? We'll save that for eventide, by the fireside. In fact, Percy, can ya make mine mead perhaps? ;-) That is what ursines like: mead by the fireside at eventide!
So, it looks like I'm gonna be a blogging bear again! But remember, I'm a ursus who is still half asleep, so don't expect me to take off like a jackrabbit, all right? Hibernation has done me good, but I need to ease back into this. The grizz is still a mite bleary and wobbly on his feet as he lurches around in his bathrobe. . .
So, expect me to wobble blearily for a week or three! I'd like to savor my coffee in that leisurely fashion that we bruins are noted for. . .
Hey, here's five bucks! Will somebody head over to Starbuck's and fetch me that cappucino, or must I make do with Folger's Crystals . . . ?? ;-)

Welcome back CF.
My good friend, the lad Percy, is a man of wide taste and late hours, Fidel, but for you I will make sure he brew the beans at sunup and has the oats mashed and in the fermenter by noon.
Do you take a pinch of gunpowder with it?
Good to see you back, Sir.
Amfortas.
@Julie: Thank 'ee! :)
@Amfortas: I am honored to have such a distinguished visitor as yourself greet me whilst I wobble from the hibernal den. . .
Aye, a pinch of gunpowder will do nicely I think - but mind ye it be dry. That's how we like to keep our powder around these parts, ennit? ;)
Oh. . . and can you ask Percy to throw a sprig of sagebrush into the pot also, to give it that authentic cowboy flavor?
And remind him to brew it STRONG - strong enough to float a horseshoe!
;)
Mead is good.
Good to have you up and kickin' Fidel! I just got back from a few weeks in Kauai. God it's cold back here in Washington State! Coffee sounds good. No wonder we drink so much of it.
@MartyLee: Ya know, there is a thing called Seasonal Affective Disorder, which apparently gives good ol' Washington state the highest suicide rate in the USA.
Dang! I'm so glad to be "robust", meaning that my mood is uncorrelated to meteorology. I can be sad when it's sunny, and happy-go-lucky when the sky is dark as lead. . .
Think so nice
