A homage
April 9, 2008 by mcmullen
It’s no secret that Jeff loves Starbucks coffee — not the fancy drinks, like me with my chai tea lattes — no, he actually loves the coffee. He drinks it black, laughing in the face of sugar or milk. This is to the level that he is definitely a vassal to this lord.
This morning he flew out to Seattle for important reasons - but he had a twinkle in his eye before he left because he found out that he would be able to pay homage to the original Starbucks store at Pike Place Market.
I’m joining him out there on Friday, so I look forward to seeing some good Starbucks cup-holds via Jeffrey going on. It’s pretty much the only multi-task he does with ease: Starbucks cup-holding at the same time as certain other Jeffish activities, such as driving, talking, playing soccer with Ewan, checking email, walking, talking on his cell phone, etc. But it’s a cute cup-hold, done by the man I love, and I’m looking forward to seeing you (and your cup-hold) on Friday, Jeffrey.
Here’s to hoping you catch a sunny spell out there! Enjoy the scenery AND the coffee!
Funny a sunny spell. We had about an hour today. So far Jeff has had to settle for neighborhood coffee, which is alright. The trip to the original shop will be tomorrow or Saturday. Just remember too look for the nipples.
thanks lovely. i have used the cup-hold well, you would be proud. maybe when you are out here, I will buy you a cup of coffee if you want

On one of my trips to Seattle, I stayed at a hotel across from the Pike Place Market and did get Starbucks from the original store. You have to watch the fish tossing at the market - it is quite fascinating!
I hope you get a sunny day so you can view Mt. Ranier!
German lesson for the day:
Kaffee = coffee
Café = café
Milch = milk
Zucker = sugar
trinken = to drink
in = in
Jeff = Jeff
Seattle = Seattle
Starbucks = Schtarbucks (no no, it’s just plain Starbucks)
Let’s attempt to string them together in a sentence:
Jeff trinkt einen Kaffee in einem Starbucks café in Seattle.
See. German’s easy.
Look forward to hearing how your visit went.
