This morning, for the second day in a row, I had some of the best coffe I have had for a long time, thanks to my Christmas present from my wife.  Undoubtedly, it is the best present I received this Christmas.  She gave me a briki for making Turkish coffee and a brass burr coffee grinder from Natasha's Cafe that produces the fine grind necessary for Turkish coffee.  It takes a few more minutes to grind and prepare, but the reward is proportionate.

Hall of Fame QB Unitas Dies at the Age of 69 (washingtonpost.com) 

"Sam Huff, the Hall of Fame linebacker for the Giants, and later the Redskins, who played in that game, said yesterday that neither Unitas's body nor his physical presence suggested greatness on the gridiron.

 "He couldn't throw a screen pass like Y.A. Tittle. He couldn't run like Fran Tarkenton. He couldn't throw like Sonny Jurgensen. He was a sickly-looking guy," Huff said. "But John, he was the general. He was absolutely awesome under pressure.""
