As you know, I’m a coffee aficionado . . . all kinds, all flavors, all sizes.  I’m into local coffee shops, and I’m a “Bucks” fan too.  Espresso drinks are my favorite.

See A New Coffee Sensation for more on my addiction.

If you’ve been to a Starbucks, you probably know that they have quotations on the sides of their paper cups.

Here’s one from painter, lithographer, author, publisher and restaurateur, Russell Chatham, that caught my Dream-Jobbin’ Eye:

My father said being an artist was the shortest road to the poorhouse, claiming “real” work is something you don’t like.  I ignored him through oppositional behavior, later reasoning that only an idiot sets out to find the poorhouse, not to mention devote himself to something he doesn’t love.  Instead, I discovered an interesting back road to the unknown, and deliberately without a safety net.

Here’s to people like Russell Chatham.

Where do you stand, Dream Job Wanderer?
