Too late, you already identified as being more right handed. Not that it would do you any good anyway, as we all know you are a tea hater and a coffee hater, so you need to keep your true identity a secret to keep everyone from tarring and feathering you and running you out of town. And to think, I was trying to save your life from the murderous tea drinkers, and get you a home in Paris, only to find you so ungrateful that you won't drink any coffee! Have you not heard of Bach's Coffee Cantata? Hang your head in shame, you uncultured brute!
(And, yes, Bach's Coffee Cantata is a real thing, and worth hearing.)

Lol, I wish you could understand the lyrics. Basically, it's a desperate father who tries to get his daughter Lieschen off her coffee addiction, but she is not having any of it 
It's such a funny thought that the great JS Bach was a coffee addict who would use the stuff as doping to compose more efficiently

Hey I grew up near Boulder! Very cool place to hang out as a teen. I am of German decent, and would love to visit some time. Also my wife's name is Alex K. as well

Lol. I'm not your wife though... I think! I don't think I drank that much when I was in CO 
I just love the combination of laid back people, a nice cozy downtown with all kinds of weird artists and pubs, a bit of college atmosphere, and open nature. We'd go jogging along bounder creek every morning to visit the groundhogs, and go hike into the mountains on weekends. We lived on campus for a workshop.
You should come visit GER some time, it's pretty nice in places!

Just wait till you receive the divorce papers and end up having to pay him alimony. What do you expect, after abandoning him and running off to Germany? You did not even stick around to give the marriage a chance to succeed!
I think I am going to be careful how much I drink the next time I am in Colorado...

I read that last part as "thus I laid a lot of black people." I was like "Whaaaaaaaa?"
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
