The second cup is the one that you can take a little more time with. At least for me it is less hurried, without the pressure of getting four single-digit kids ready for school and daycare. Baths are done, kids are dressed and fed, book bags checked, and then (finally) four out the door.

The Second Cup post will be a more in depth look at something I’ve found interesting. It might be a look at one of the first cup posts or a news story that catches my eye. It may just be me going on about something on my mind. And I do have opinions

The first name for this blog was going to be Two Opinionated Old Farts. That evolved into One Opinionated Old Fart when the friend I had asked to join me decided he didn’t want to get involved. In fact, if you look at the site meter link you’ll see that the part after the server identification is s15ooofb which stood for One Opinionated Old Fart Blog. The name never made it to the light of day, but the opinions did. They still do.

I’ve taken the day off from work, so you might think today would be one where I get to really dig into something of interest. Sorry. I’m home with a 22 month old who spent last night and this morning ralphing everywhere. Aren’t you glad to be reading this after breakfast is behind you?

I will be popping in throughout the day, but the chances of getting to write anything in depth today are slim.
