Create Your Own Starbucks

Did you know that you can listen to the Starbucks radio on AOL? XM Radio is now on AOL which has Hear Radio, the Starbucks channel.

My favorite coffee is Verona. We make our own each morning. This morning while on my computer I decided to turn on the Hear Radio channel. The music is light rock -- the Dave Matthews/Cold Play/Bonnie Raitt variety. Listening to this music is giving me an idea. Just think of the possibilities. You too can create your own Starbucks.

The interior of my sister Terry's house reminds me of an upscale Starbucks. Her decorating is avant garde. She has done a fabulous job remodeling the interior of her house. Her colors are the Starbucks earth tones. When I walk into her house I get a craving for a cappuccino.

Change by Tracy Chapman is playing. What a great song. Listen:

If you knew that you would die today,
Saw the face of god and love,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses? How much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around,
Makes you try to explain,
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

If you knew that you would be alone,
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that you would find a truth
That brings up pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses? How much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around,
Makes you try to explain,
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

Are you so upright you can't be bent?
If it comes to blows are you so sure you won't be crawling?
If not for the good, why risk falling?
Why risk falling?

If everything you think you know,
Makes your life unbearable,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you'd broken every rule and vow,
And hard times come to bring you down,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that you would die today,
If you saw the face of God and love,
Would you change?
Would you change?
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you saw the face of God and love
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change?
Would you change?
