I’ve been asked to write an interview with a cappuccino. But where to start?

Amy: How do you feel about the weather here in Walla Walla? This morning it rained for 63 seconds and has been overcast the rest of the day.

Cap: Perfect day for me.

A: What makes it perfect?

C: Why wouldn’t it be perfect? I’m a cappuccino.

A: Do you think Earl Hooker “Simply the Best” on the radio adds to the appreciation of the drinks here at the Walla Walla Roastery?

C: I’d always prefer live music. But it certainly sets a mood better than jet engines.

A: What are your thoughts on Sarah Palin as we prepare for the debate this evening?

C: Are you kidding me? We haven’t met. Maybe you should ask Tang.

A: Will you be watching the debate?

C: Only if you are.

A: How much longer are you planning to stick around?

C: To be honest, that’s kind of up to you. But I’m really wanting to meet a nice Syrah. Any thoughts on that? See, who is the interviewer now?

A: Well, I’ve got a lovely K Vintners MCK I’d like you to meet this evening. But back to you, how is your self esteem in this valley flooded with wine?

C: Couldn’t be better. Have you seen me? Seriously, why wouldn’t I feel great? Wine and cappuccino. Great match. Why do you think I’m so excited about your MCK friend?

A: Anything else you’d like to say today?

C: Yes. This is my favorite art show the Roastery has ever had. Sarah Stanley has done these fascinating multi-media pieces that I could spend an entire afternoon pondering. Come check it out.

A: Thank you for sharing with us today. I hope to see you again very soon.

C: My pleasure.
