Amazon.com: Books: Loser Goes First: My Thirty-Something Years of Dumb Luck and Minor Humiliation (#)

„His first two choices for university are Yale (Lit or Drama) and Harvard (Business), so he reviews his high school transcripts and decides on Butte Community College in Oroville, California, where he studies for about four and a half weeks. We could go on here and describe in detail all of Dan’s good-natured stabs at ambition, but he, himself, sums it all up quite nicely: “If you’ve ever tried and failed miserably at being a rock star (no guitar/talent), a professional bass fisherman, an extra in the movie Sleepless in Seattle (guy drinking martini in bar while Tom Hanks makes a phone call), a Madison Avenue advertising executive, a clerk/towel person at a suburban health club (named Kangaroo Kourts), an espresso street-cart owner and operator (in the one neighborhood of that coffee-swilling town, Seattle, where, remarkably, no one really seems to drink coffee), a dot.com millionaire, an MTV VJ, or a forest fire fighter, this book is for you.”“

„Contents & Preparation: Espresso, ice, cream of coconut, coconut milk. Ingredients are mixed in a martini shaker, then poured into 3.5-ounce stemware and topped with espresso/coconut infused whip-cream and toasted coconut flakes. “I ran across a Piña Colada recipe that my mother had given to me. It included Cream of Coconut, which I found had a sweetness that complemented Zoka's Espresso Paladino blend quite well.“
