Better latte' then never!

Now its no secret. This bear LOVES his coffee! It doesn't matter if its dark, medium, light, flavored, decaf, hot, iced, double caffeinated extra dark roast (yes, there is such a thing!), espresso, latte', frap, or even chocolate covered beans, I love it! You would think that I was always a coffee drinker, but it is something that has developed more so recently in life then earlier. I had an occasional cup here and there in my early 20's while working graveyard shifts, but is was far from being something I enjoyed, savored and craved as I do now. Its gotten to the point of more then just taste. The smell alone has become such a happy smell for me. And this may be a little TMI, but if I go on a coffee date with someone and and there is a kiss later, and the smell and taste of coffee is still there....{{{shudder}}}Yes! . Sorry, where was I? Oh yeah. Late in life. So here I am at 42 and I feel like an infant discovering solid food for the first time. I want to try every flavor, every way of making it, every way of drinking it, leaving no bean unturned. As I write this, I can't help but wonder. Is what I have an addiction, obsession, fetish or simply a guilty pleasure. If I don't have a cup of coffee, its not like I experience withdrawls. I can go days or weeks without it. But if I do have it, I can't have just one. And if I smell it, I have to have it. So what do you think? Leave me comments with your thoughts.
