*$'s, sorry folks I am a coffee snob. I must admit I had a cup of their Varona the other day on the way to class because the student union serves *$ coffee and it was a decent cup of joe. Straight Cain's brewed fresh is not too bad by comparison and is cheaper. I do have the site but it needs a lot of work and a bunch of contributors would be really nice. The Oklahoma City Coffee Connection could be the place to be and be seen. I need a volenteer with more knowledge in HTML and webpage design we can kick this thing up a notch or two.

My stomach still hurts. I am wondering why. Beginning to think maybe it is not internal but external. Maybe I am pulling a muscle in my abdomen? I have a call out to Dr. Mark to ask what he thinks. Trying to trace the orgin of the pain and when it occurs and how long it lasts. I am lifting 50 lbs. bags to charge the glass furnace. It hurts the next morning. Maybe a connection?
Peace
