I had a fabulous nostalgic experience on my drive home from work today.

The back story

An ex-colleague of mine,  (and no he did not change employers because of me) is also an organo gold dealer.  Organo gold (the company)  “brings the treasures of the earth to the people of the world”.

In case you are wondering, the treasures of the earth are coffee, tea and nutraceuticals.  The premium black coffee is enhanced with ganoderma lucideum which is known as the supernatural mushroom.

Almost a year ago, he asked if I would like to try some of his good stuff (the organo gold not acapulco gold)  and I did.  It’s instant coffee and it was my intention to just try a cup or two and then politely exit stage left.  Surprise, surprise this was good stuff.  The magic mushrooms were not hallucinogenic but I do feel good.  I understand some mushrooms can be hallucinogenic , not from personal experience of course, people have told me that.

So I had to score some more, gave my dealer a call and so it began. First I was buying a box, than 2 at a time and on to 3 boxes at once.  I do drink about 10 cups a day, so got to feed the habit.

The Nostalgic Experience

I met my colleague for lunch yesterday and as has become habit, in his dealer role, he was going to slip me 90 packets (3 boxes).  Woe is me, he forgot the stuff.   We had a nice lunch and pleasant walk around the lovely campus of the University of Alberta (the co-eds have started to return, but who notices).  Anyway we made arrangements to complete the buy next week.

Today on my drive home I was stopped at a four way stop sign,  checked my rear view mirror and who is in the car behind me but my dealer.    I completed my left turn and pulled over to the side of the road and my dealer (I mean ex-colleague) with his moll sitting beside him (I mean wife) pulled in behind.  He showed me the stuff and as I pulled out my wallet to make the buy, he suggested we move off the road behind his car to make the exchange outside of prying eyes you know.  Meanwhile his wife kept lookout.

Now this was organo gold (it’s instant coffee) but it took me back 40 – 45 years when this could have been acapulco gold.  Not that I have any experience with that, but others have told me and I can imagine.

Anyway, I got the coffee, he got the money and no one got hurt.

And if you want some organo gold

Drop me a reply to this post with your e-mail and I will pass it to my dealer.  There is a link earlier in the post to the Organo Gold web site so you can read more about it if interested.
