paths not to take

i've been living. and thinking. sometimes geeky attention to a niche of a niche profession is a great thing. it is probably the cause of an untold number of advances in an untold number of fields of discipline.

but sometimes, maybe usually, it results in attitudes of superiority toward people who are not considered in an 'inner circle,' myopic vision, and loss of touch the the everyday, everyman world of reality. no discipline lives in a vacuum. coffee is no exception.

rock stars will kill coffee. humility in all things or greatness in none. that is my mantra for brown. brown exists for coffee, not coffee for brown, or for me.
