Arggh...posting from phone.  In previous email, "hit" was changed by 
software from my attempt at typing "shot." I shouldn't complain:  the 
software may have saved me from the embarrassment of posting an obscenity.

If this is an example of a hit ruined by stage fright, I can hardly wait to 
see what happens when you overcome it.  A word of caution or encouragement, 
perhaps:  comparing oneself to Lluis can be hard on one's ego.  Use such 
comparison wisely.

I think the "shakiness" goes well with the coffee theme!
Have you ever been to the Main Street Roasting Company in Redwood City? The 
fellow there, Bob Baldwin, is a master roaster and a photographer. I believe 
he and Peet learned together. He is also a photo nerd and will spend all the 
time in the world talking gear.  Active in the PA Camera club. You may want 
to stop by some time. Tell him Bob sent you :-)
Best,
Bob
