Five Deadly Sins

Image
I roasted coffee for many years. Kaladi Bros Coffee, in Denver Colorado was a job that was much more than a job, in many ways. Since the day I started working at KBC, in August of 2003, I have been a daily coffee drinker. Perhaps the number of days without coffee, or, at least caffeine of some kind can be counted on one hand. Out of all the vices available for perusement in the world, coffee drinking, if even a vice, would the one I would least want to be rid of. These days there are not many other vices I have either the time nor the capacity to indulge in. In the hospital, the consequence of a given vice are glaringly apparent. This is less a discussion of the psychology and pathology of how a person is given to a certain vice, but a frank examination of the disease processes that I deal with as a direct consequence of the small, but powerful list below. Gluttony Definitely the most widely engaged in deadly sin, and usually the one with the most hard to hide consequences.
