I’m not sure what this has to do with Sacramento except that everybody everywhere knows Tiger Woods.  We’ve all heard that phrase “You can’t have it all.”  But maybe this picture proves you can have it all; crazy money, a job you love, and a perfect little family.  This is a picture of Tiger Woods family with daughter Sam and their new son Charlie born February 8, 2009.

Tiger Woods and Family

Last week in the post “Starbucks Introducing Instant Coffee Next Week” I told you about the new instant coffee called VIA that Starbucks is rolling out for all its customers in a hurry.  Well this week the news is even better, they are offering samples for free because they want us all to try this great new invention that has been around for a century.  No kidding, instant coffee was first invented in 1901 by a Japanese-American Chemist named Satori Kato, but not really mass produced and marketed until 1909 by an English chemist, George Constant Washington.  Enough of the history lesson and never mind that this isn’t really a “new” product, the important thing is you can get a free sample if you click on this link to try Starbucks VIA for free.
