Coffee Break

I'm going to be starting a new segment called "Coffee Break": occasional photo posts from myself and readers of their "caffeine refueling", "work room breather", or "morning routine". So send me your iPhone pics or digital photos of YOUR coffee breaks and I'll post them! Why coffee breaks? Because it's 15 minutes out of a busy day to stop and smell the roses (or coffee beans), take a breather, let your mind rest. It's like the American adult's mini version of "siesta" or "recess". Everybody should have a break during the day even if it is a small one.

And it's good for you:
