Lather, I have to tell you, those are some of the best coffeehouse names I have ever heard. Really:

Javarium? (Javatory!?)
Mochaordinates?
Shangri-Latte?
Capucchino Monastery?
EspressLane?
Has-Bean?
Sacred Grounds.

Really. Amazing. (My mother used to say I say really" too often. But she has Alzheimers now, and doesn't really know who's saying it.)

I want to call you a genius.

But there's something "given" about that.

And "creative genius", while also true, is a non-creative descriptor if there ever was one. Not very specific, in the complimentary. Not, "He can do his taxes."

So then you're calling someone a creative genius, but you're not being very creative about it. No wonder they're a genius and you're not.

Boy.

So; these are the hazards of trying to do stuff.
