My Easter morning serving of Krebs & Sumatra
One of the churches I walked past on the way to Starbucks on Copeland and Tennessee. I've begun to think of this new Starbucks as my grandmother's, because her last name was Copeland and she lived in Tennessee (Chattanooga) and she liked coffee. Reminded me of an old News From Lake Wobegone in the 1980s when Garrison Keillor talked about what he called The Church of Sunday Brunch that many people attended faithfully in place of whatever church they might have grown up attending.
Krebs was J. S. Bach's best student and a great (underappreciated) composer himself – I especially like his pipe organ music, which I also have a 5 CD set of. And to compliment it the Starbucks brewed coffee this morning included Sumatra (my first cup at about 8:30, early for me) and Sulawesi (my free refill), two of my favorites.
The public library book I'm finishing reading here (70 pages left) will be the 20th Donna Leon Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery that I've read, a writer and series I discovered only three months ago. Mysteries are a genre I've almost completely ignored for decades, before getting hooked on these Brunetti mysteries, which are a great way to learn about Venice in depth (not the superficial tourist sightseeing and shopping experience).
