A Snob Learns About Gratefulness

Several years ago, I was being considered for a position on the Board of Directors for a nonprofit organization serving children in a depressed area of the city. I was told to write a ‘short bio.”  (Well, good luck with THAT!)

Anyway, the results were tabulated, and I was elected. They took me in even though this sentence was part of the submitted ‘who I am’ document.

“Beyond the basics, you’ll find that I am a self-proclaimed coffee snob.  I prefer “discriminating consumer”, but accuracy demands the “s” word.  It’s not that I won’t drink “sawdust-in-a-cup” at times, but I may make every effort to convert those who regularly partake in this disturbing practice.  You’ve been warned.”

Well, that was then, this is now.
