Melting Snow & a Cup of Joe

There's something about a cup of good coffee: a richness, a boldness and a taste that makes you close your eyes and just inhale the aroma; The quality and the feeling of that tan ambrosia as it fills your mouth with life. This morning's brew is from Unseen Bean (2052 Broadway), whose proprietor, Gerry Leary, although sightless, roasts his coffee with care and precision that is adamantly evident in every cup of joe. It's making my morning full of dripping snow and mile-high sunshine get rolling in just the right way.
