Percolating and perpetuating
The Five-minute challenge!


Can I post something meaningful in the five minutes I have to spare before I have to take off for work? I think I can.

I'm ruminating on the "perpetuation" of ideas this morning. It comes from a Teamspeak conversation I was having with my guildmates some months back. We were discussing our favorite coffees, and I said that no matter how many fancy coffee-brewing methods are invented, there are none that come close to a good old stainless steel percolator, which is what I grew up with.

A young guildmate responded with, "What's that? Perpetuate?" The ensuing laughter has arisen in my mind in the time since, every time I pour a cup from the percolator. And because my ideas for stories often "percolate" in my mind like coffee before I do anything with them, it seems appropriate that I "perpetuate" them as well as "percolate" them.

There! Five minutes down, and I've got a little something to post. Must make a habit of this.
