The Introduction

I'm sure there is a term for a person like me: ADD, flighty, easily distracted, Jack of all Trades--Master of None...it doesn't really matter. I get really excited about new things. I mean really, really excited about new things. The more obscure the better. I obsess about them, I research them, I feel that I cannot live without my latest passion. Unfortunately, I often lose interest right about the time I make a significant investment in said passion. By the time the latest book, tool, gadget or appliance arrives I am already deeply involved with the next great passion of my life.

Maybe its the American way, categorically lazy, maybe its my way. It is easy to take a hobby to a certain point, when suddenly the learning curve grows significantly steeper; then I quit. However, as a sufferer of this "phenomenon" (I haven't gotten around to becoming obsessed with obscure medical conditions) I tend to learn a lot about a lot of different things, but a master of none.

I guess the purpose of this blog is not necessarily to make me feel shame for my flightiness or sometimes wastefulness, but to document the journey of my current interests--which for today is roasting coffee.
