Caffeine-free Cloisters: 

Over the weekend, we went on our second annual pilgrimage to see foliage at the Cloisters. I love the Cloisters! And I love Lucien! So it was obviously a very good combination, except for one slight difficulty: severe caffeine withdrawal. That day was only Day 2 of our joint effort to go coffee-free. Sometimes, you gotta give the ole’ coffee mug a break, even though it goes against everything every bone, fiber, and muscle in your body is telling you.
