Coffee… Such ambrosia… I didn’t go far last night. Had to reassure Head In Chest and Sir Nathaniel. Sir Nathaniel actually dropped his top hat in surprise when he saw my discombobulated date. So I spent half the night in nightmare mode, holding HIC’s hand. No matter what state I’m in, I still know friend from…
