Jerry Beans
So Dad likes to roast his own coffee beans these days. He buys different beans from some online shop and gets them green in the mail; then it’s out to the garage with a handful at a time, to roast them to just the right point (somewhere between “chewy” and “charcoal lumps”). This has gained him worldwide fame thanks to Adam’s sneaky inclusion of his activities in the Yahoo search blog.
He gives out samples to people who come to visit. Megumi and I sent him some little cans to use for this . . . and what good is a can of coffee beans without a brand and a label?

He got 12 little cans, and a big stack of stickers, and some T-shirts to spread the word. We figure the cans will go out to coffee drinkers who forget to return them, and the shirts will lose their ironed-on ink after a few trips through the laundry. He’ll be stuck with hundreds of little stickers, and lots of coffee to drink while he decides where to stick them all.
