I’ve tried. I’ve really tried to make this work. I’ve really tried to be supportive of your decision to pursue a career dispensing cold beverages to thirsty people. Whether it’s been carbonated soda or fruit juice or just bottled water, I’ve been there for you. Whether you’ve been 34° or pushing close to 40°, I’ve been there for you. The fact that you cannot successfully dispense beverages, even in the most routine of dispensing situations, pushes me to a decision.

I AM BREAKING UP WITH YOU.

This decision breaks my heart. However, I can no longer lose change as a result of it bouncing out of your coin receptacle on to the floor underneath you. I can no longer suffer your slings and arrows as you reject my ten dollar bill simply because of your bristly mood or preference for fives or singles. You know I always carry tens.

You can keep your beverages. You can keep your beverages inside your cold, cold heart.

Currently, there is a sign on you that says your fan is noisy and will soon be replaced. It is obvious that others care for you, otherwise, that sign and its promised care wouldn’t be taped to your face. Let the others care for you. I can no longer be party to your behavior.

This breaks my heart, and 7-Eleven is a good ten minute round trip.

Please consider keeping the noisy fan. It’s the only part of you that actually works.

This isn’t a big fanfare or lengthy post to explain anything beyond the simple decision to write about the things I drink. What do I mean by that? Well…

• the things I literally drink
• beer
• the drink experiments that frequently happen in my kitchen
• bourbon
• tasting notes
• cocktails
• water
• the things I hate that get poured down the drain
• milk
• tea
• the things I love and want to make for others
• coffee
• water
• wine
• the things I read
• the things I buy
• the food that I eat when drinking something
• whimsy

I hope you enjoy it.
