Coffee as a Metaphor

This morning I was getting coffee in our "coffee area" at Venture X, which is a collaborative work space in Naples, Florida, It's been my hub for the last 3 years. This guy, who's a really smart software architect for another company walks up behind me at the same time waiting to see what I would do so he could decide what he would do.

Coffee, tea, or decaf? The only problem, I wasn't sure what I wanted. We laughed at the stops and starts and then he says, "Just trying to decide this morning is a challenge." I said, "just choose with no regrets and don't look back..." and we laughed. Like that laugh where we both know that there was a hidden truth to the words. I know we were talking about coffee but I had to smile as I walked back to my desk...
