...is the only concept I remember learning from my high school Economics class. And only because Mr. Carlson explained it using pizza as an example. The gist, if I'm remembering correctly, is that the first slice of pizza is going to taste infinitely better than your third, or fourth, or seventh. Nothing will be more satisfying than the first hunk of saucy, cheesy dough melting in your mouth.
And so it is with coffee.
Try as I might, that third cup is never near as satisfying as the first. Maybe because, by the third cup, my heart is starting to feel like it might beat out of my chest and my brain is starting to whirl around at anxiety-producing speeds. Maybe because nothing motivates me to get out of bed more in the morning than the thought of that first warm cup of coffee-with-hazelnut-creamer.
Anyway, I'm happy to know that at least one concept from my junior year of high school seems to have stuck with me.
Happy Sunday!

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I REMEMBER FROM ECON TOO!!! And I even took it it college as well. Something about that pizza analogy really stuck with me yo. Oh yeah, and Alan Greenspan. If he's even still in the game. I learned about him.
wow, y'all took economics! i don't think i ever did. i took physics! ...but all i remember is the teacher (poop! can't remember his name!) trying to draw a team of stick-oxen to simulate mass and force, and i asked if i could please draw them differently for him.
I had to switch to decaf.... getting too sketched out!! I did buy the good stuff though! Mmm.
