HEAR AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL sung by our amazing Virtual Choir through this link: https://youtu.be/XM1G5NrNHx4 .

A VIDEO ABOUT COFFEE and life that I recently was emailed reminded me of this same yet different video about coffee and life that I came across a few years ago. FYI—the same could be said about tea and life. I hope you enjoy it. David Hartwell   https://youtu.be/ogweL4E24ok
