My Coffee, Gregg Shorthand, My Wicked Imagination

Coffee has gotten me through some difficult situations. So has Gregg shorthand. Oh yes, those shorthand instructors in high school and college would be proud of me. After yea, these many years, I still remember. And, boy! Does it come in handy.  When I’m in a situation where I’m uncomfortable or bored or a bit […]
