Coffee

I’ve set a personal limit of two cups of coffee a day—it’s enough to have a real taste of something I truly enjoy, but not so much that it makes me feel like I’m turning my stomach into shoe leather. It’s tough to stick to that, though, since someone delivered a full pot of the tasty brew right to my room at 6:30.

There’s less to Facebook and other social networks than meets the eye

Maybe, but there’s still a lot of fear about being left out of the fun (and the money)…
