Note to everyone:
Stop overthinking it.

I am glad you feel free to nonchalantly blog whenever you feel like it - thanks for coming back from time to time!; January 11, 2011 at 7:42 PM

Kate said...: geesh. was it a slow day with the lifestyle folks at the nytimes or what? really? better than a hair net?who cares?; January 11, 2011 at 8:13 PM
Pieter said...: I stopped wearing socks, because the process of coordinating them with shoes became too taxing. I can not imagine the anguish of matching clothing to beverages...; January 11, 2011 at 11:26 PM

Penelope Bianchi said...: that sounds like Sara Palin!

I am afraid I will not hire anyone with visible tattoos.

do you think this is "over-think"; or "no-think, just use words in a row"?; January 12, 2011 at 6:28 PM

Siiri said...: ohhh, crap! Why did they do that?! This is NOT true to Stumptown...at least not the original Stumptown. I know they're trying to adapt to different markets, neighborhoods, cities, etc., but this is not the way to do it....I don't care what my barista wears, as long as the coffee makes it into the cup. I'm gonna ask the guys at the one down the street from my house what they think about this. I'm a big time Stump supporter, and this makes them look a little shallow...; January 13, 2011 at 3:32 PM

One or two hats is interesting, everyone with a hat is just dorky. No way around it.

Wow NY Times....you're killing me with creativity.; January 15, 2011 at 11:06 AM
