Italian Coffee

I had a slow(er) commute this morning. It takes me an hour and a half to get to work (from Northern Virginia to Washington, DC). Today it took an extra 30 minutes. I wasn't happy at all. I didn't want to come to work in a bad mood, so I stopped at the Italian Coffee House in the Ronald Reagan Building (The International Trade Center in DC) on the way to my office and got a nice Illy Cafe au Lait and a Banana Nut Bread. It's amazing how a cup of coffee had such a relaxing effect on me. I spent the first hour of my day checking and responding e-mails and sipping my Illy Coffee with a smile on my face.
