February 29 causes a hiccup at Starbucks

February 29th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Ok, here’s my open admission that I’m a Starbucks addict.  Most days I get my regular:  Decaf, grande, extra hot, with whip, mocha for Steve.  I justify the habit by calling it “networking”, which to some extent it is, but honestly, it’s a lot more about the chocolate syrup in the mocha.
At any rate, today [...]

What happened?

February 19th, 2008 · 3 Comments
