Hit Coffee is the story of Will Truman (trumwill), a southern transplant in the mountain west with an IT background who bides his time substitute teaching while his wife brings home the bacon. This site is a collection of reflections on the goings-on in his life and in the world around him. You will probably be relieved to know that he does not generally refer to himself in the third-person except when he's writing short bios on his web page.
Greetings from Callie, Arapaho, a red town in a red state known for growing red meat. And from Redstone, Arapaho (Aw-RAH-pah-hoe), a blue city with blue collar roots that's been feeling blue for quite some time.
Nothing written on this site should be taken as strictly true, though if the author were making it all up rest assured the main character and his life would be a lot less unremarkable.
This website is maintained by Guy Webster (web), who also contributes from time to time. Web hails from the midwest and currently lives in Truman's home city of Colosse, Delosa. He works as a utility IT person at Southern Tech University, their alma mater.
Also contributing is Sheila Tone (stone) a West Coaster, breeder, and lawyer who has probably hooked up with some loser just like you and sees through your whole pathetic little act.
I was asked my a coworker (much higher up than myself) what kind of doctor my wife is. I pretty directly answered that she delivers babies.
I need to work in there a wry comment about the inherent dangers of a motherless woman in her thirties spending 80 hours a week around cute little babies.
It’s like my mind works on a 45-minute time delay. It’s sad, I guess, that I have to think of these wry comments and jokelets in advance, but there ya go!

This is a strange post. Will, are you not getting your ass kicked enough around the house lately?
Or is it perhaps you who feels the baby lust?

I’m curious, what difference do you think it makes being motherless? Do you think it would make a woman want babies more, or less?
If she got stuck taking care of younger siblings a lot, maybe less, I’d think.
I don’t think it affected my desire for children. It might have affected why I waited so long — a woman with a pressuring mother, or at least more of a role model in that area, might have felt the psychological pressure earlier. I always wanted kids but never figured there was any big hurry, then at 35 I realized we’d better get a move on.
I think it affects my domestic abilities for the worse, due to lack of example. Luckily my husband has low standards so it works out pretty well, and has the upside of me not spending a lot of money on furniture and stuff like that.

Luckily my wife has a good sense of humor about such things. I’ve even made jokes about hearing that sound of the biological clock when she gushes over the cute little peanuts she’s delivered during our day-in-review conversations. She’s biologically ready and wants to, so it defuses the tension a bit. If and when we do have kids it’ll be at least a couple years from now (it’s a definite no-go with her current work schedule, for sure).
Clancy isn’t motherless, but my mother sort of was. My grandparents were alcoholics so she had to take care of her younger siblings. Having kids was something of a concession on her part for my father, but she took to mothering and I can’t begin to tell you how much she looks forward to being a grandmother.
