Apologies to Bob for propagating off-topic commentary, but I prefer vending-machine coffee. Always have. No joke.

If pessimism is a Starbuck’s vanilla latte then optimism is a cup of very bad cheap coffee served up in a leaky styrofoam container.
I prefer realism, defined as wishing I could afford Starbucks but still quite happy to have all that I have.
