Best Holiday Gift Ever

You probably have picked up that I am a big fan of the Mudtruck and the Mudspot, purveyors of what I consider to be NYC's best coffee.

So, this early Christmas gift, seen at left, rocked my world. I was one of the few to get a free pass for coffee during the final weeks of 2005. For those unable to see my blurry picture, it says "Make Mud Ay" (not a typo, it's "Make My Day" phonetically), with the subhead "Free Mud From Now 'Til 2006".

This is a wonderful gesture by the owners, Greg and Nina -- thanks so much, guys! -- and a wonderful idea for retailers keen on thanking their most loyal customers in the community.
