Moving creates opportunities

I was remarking to a dear friend the other day that moving can create exciting but scary opportunities. Well our office move has done just that. It has created a moral crisis that I face every morning until I get back into making my own coffee. I've been going over to Slocum Hall for coffee since we've moved and each day I come upon this scene.

Click on the picture if it is too small to read the center coffee urn label. For those to lazy to click it says "Fair Trade", "Organic Coffee".

Now I'm not too sure what either of these mean to me and even though I've watched the Lion King enough times to know life's not fair everyday I feel compelled to put my cup under the one labeled "FAIR TRADE". You see like most people I want life to be fair and I figure that maybe by drinking "FAIR TRADE" coffee I'm halping to balance out some cosmic fairness counter like the points counter in at Hogwarts. Sadly every time I try I end up succumbing to another sense fairness and I only put in a half a cup of "Fair Trade" coffee and the other half normal red blooded American, Juan Valdez (you know the guy who ran the oil tanker aground up in Alaska) coffee.
