		<description><![CDATA[I remember the first time I ever tried to pronounce the word “bergamot” in front of a bona fide tea professional. He instantly corrected me by saying, “It’s bergaMOT.” And here I was uttering the less pronounced, “bergamitt”. That’s the way it always looked to me.
The mitt-mispronunciation has since left my lexicon, but I find [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
One particular evening, a friend of mine and I were conversing over beers. (Isn&#8217;t that when the best conversations happen?) The topic of hipsterdom came up. Being residents of the greater Portland area, we were bombarded with them regularly. The &#8220;anti&#8221;-clique made P-Town one of its ironic bases of operations. Funny thing, though, no one [...]]]></description>

Well, this time I had an excuse. A loud roar jolted me from sleep. When I opened my eyes, standing in front of me [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s talk about networking&#8230;or rather how much I hate doing it.
Around this time last year, I was among the many underemployed folks out there. My mother - a former career counselor - always stressed that making contacts helps in the process. I knew she was right; she&#8217;s almost always right. That didn&#8217;t stop me from [...]]]></description>

Obviously, I&#8217;m still playing catch-up. This is a flashback to late-January. I assure you, though, it&#8217;s totally worth it. Well, if you like tea in your beer. Moving along&#8230;
Tea and beer are my two favorite beverages in the world. Yes, the entire world. Both are also extremely habitual and have a lot of history to [...]]]></description>

You’re still here. Damn…have you been waiting long? Two months? Really?! Ummm…
Yeah, I had…uh…Carpal-depress-‘o-flu. It’s contagious. I’d stay back if I were you. Now where were we…January? Ah, yes.
To say it’s been a rough Winter is an understatement. I spent three weeks of it on my second bout with “Le Plague”. This put an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What is it?&#8221; asked a passerby.
&#8220;What does it look like?&#8221; said a grizzly, overalled Brit sitting on a bench.
&#8220;A train,&#8221; was the American&#8217;s curious response. &#8220;Not like any I&#8217;ve ever seen.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s because it&#8217;s not a train,&#8221; the Brit said gruffly. &#8220;It&#8217;s a trolley.&#8221;

The art of tea blending is one that has always eluded me. I know of people that consider themselves experts in the field, but I often wondered how much skill it really took to create a blend. Playing with different herbs and teas wasn&#8217;t a new thing to me. I did it all the time [...]]]></description>

Mondays - for me - usually go something like this: (1) Get off work at 7AM. (2) Head home. (3) Crawl out of work uniform and smother into pajamas. (4) Crank the electric blanket on high and fire up the ol&#8217; Netflix&#8230;until I fall asleep. Pretty routine for a night-worker to not want the word [...]]]></description>

Tea and alcohol, while completely opposite beverages on the Sin-o-Meter, pair exceptionally well. Whether it be tea-infused alcohol or alcohol-scented tea, the combination of both bring an added dimension of badass that I fully back. The high-points [...]]]></description>
