Coffee With My Dad

When I go home to visit my parents in Kentucky, my dad and I will pour two cups of coffee with an unhealthy amount of hazelnut Coffee-Mate and sit and catch up. It’s quiet, and we check in on all things — family, health, our opposing politics, parenting. He gives me the best life advice, and I sometimes help him log onto the Wi-Fi

“He connects to the classical world in a way that is deeply emotive,” Dean said. “I’m interested in where your mind goes when you look at one of his works. It can go to memory, it can go to envy — you think, ‘God, that’s so perfect.’”

“I can’t draw in front of people,” Dean added. “It’s a very solitary thing.”

Breville Espresso Machine

I spent a lot of money on that machine; it’s not going to waste. I used to work in a coffee shop, so I have experience tamping down and getting the right grind size and pressure. Sometimes, before I go to bed, I think about how good my coffee’s going to be in the morning. - Ella Purnell

I definitely need some espresso. We have a couple of nice places; we live in Midtown on West 57th Street. Zibetto, which is on Sixth Avenue, or we go to Masseria, which is on Ninth Avenue. My wife likes a cappuccino with an extra shot. I usually get a nice double espresso with some pastries. #Coffee https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/20/nyregion/luna-

The main challenge with this collection is that its primary contents are three-dimensional objects; unlike text-based documents, the materials do not easily self-describe.

Norah Jones So it really happens in the bathtub when the door’s locked. A lot of my voice memos have the bath running in the background. **You’re pro-bath.** There’s a really beautiful Sylvia Plath [line] about how a hot bath can fix just about everything. I’m on board with that notion. Newsday 17 Mar 2024 p C3 #Music
