Coffee’d Up with Appreciation Thanks to Full of Fibre Podcast

Agent Palmer Gets a Package

Agent’s receive packages all the time. Usually, in unmarked brown paper wrapping from all over the globe. And commonly with contents for their eyes only. But I have received a package of similar look that must be shared.

It was a small care package from Chad, Jen, and Aiden (#lilman) of the Full of Fibre Podcast. It contained some Monogram Coffee, the “Torea Village” blend, and some stickers and magnets, but most notably a card, which I will declassify shortly.

A Special Field Report from Agent Waves

I grew up in a family of geeks.

I spent my childhood fighting over who got to be Mario with my three brothers and spending every other Friday at the local comic shop catching up on my weekly’s. So naturally, I always loved every new Nintendo & Sega system put in front of me, and I was smitten with games like Shenmue and Luigi’s Mansion.

A Special Fictional Report from Agent Karat

On a day as regular as any, an irregular thing happened.

This event was so small and insignificant it hid the import and meaning of its grandeur. Like all stories that must have a beginning in some place unusual or far away, this one has a beginning, too. But it is not in a place with a made up name or setting.
