A shot of one of the sheets of old leather is here.

I’m awaiting my next shipment.

I didn’t know you had the Cameroon Caplami! There has been a lot of talk about that bean on the list recently–so much so that I am considering ordering it early next week despite the fact that Tom gave it a rather low rating compared to most of the coffee he carries. What did you think of it?

The Mexico Chiapas is also on my list of possible coffees to order. Was it a good one?

By the way, my internet connection woes seem to be over. My freebie firewall (from Time Warner) was to blame. I uninstalled that over the weekend, bought McAfee’s Total Security and am now happily zooming around the internet with the greatest of ease. What a relief after all the frustrating months of hit-or-miss internet use!
