The Mobile Nest is inside the Lehr Room where Bill Ayers is scheduled to speak tonight. Got a Tall cup of Starbucks house blend, a medium roast and medium body coffee, by my side. Wasn’t real delightful until I poured caramel-flavored Splenda into it. Much much better.
Okay, let’s be honest, you don’t care about what […]

In on a Friday, again. So it’s a special Friday edition of “Evening Coffee,” and we’re pointing the mug toward Millersville University.
