That's why I drink milk - even *I* can spell it

I stand corrected, but considering:

1. the time at which I posted,
2. the fact that I can't spell & my newsgroup client doesn't
have a spell checker, and
3. it (espresso) is not my favorite coffee drink
(apparently the real joy of making espresso is in
getting anything tastier than a brew from old gym socks
while forcing steam through a substance that was just
seconds shy of being charcoal-and there is hardly any
caffeine in this liquid!)

The purpose of my post was a gentle tweak of our resident
renaissance man, Donovan, who apparently is just as
comfortable discussing coffee or computers as he is running,
although I suspect he enjoys running more than either of the
preceding two subjects. And now that we learn he is hanging
around the Psych department these days I'm guessing next
he'll be giving Ozzie a run for the therapy side of
rec.running.

Anyway he solved my treadmill problems with a single post so
I will always be indebted to him for that, however, I am
still left wanting to steal his "Cheers" but I suspect that
would be a tad too obvious.
