java talk...

as i sat in the starbucks near my house yesterday with my friend kevin, i glanced down to notice a little quote scrawled across my cardboard cup... it was simple, and really had nothing to do with coffee at all... but as kevin and i talked about time gone by and life's little moments, it struck a chord with me:

Our lives are inspired by the dreams we have from the earliest stages of our youth. When you combine passion and hard work, then success is always possible. While no road is ever straight, dedication and persistence will always lead you to your dreams.
-- Arte Moreno
In 2003, he became the first Hispanic owner of a major league baseball team.

even though i discarded the cup after i drained the last of my grande mocha java into my mouth, the quote stayed with me... caffeine with a side of life perspective is well worth the $4.50...
