I'm checked in to my hotel in Long Beach, CA. The soft warm air here is helping me relax, but I'm still nervous about tomorrows tests. I'll be doing the Q Grader re-calibration with Ted Lingle teaching.

QGrader Re-Takes Coming Up
Sept. 18, 2011
Got the word today that the QGrader class I've been waiting for has been confirmed! Rob Stephen, Coffee Solutions, Boston, MASS, has enough participants to hold a QGrader class Oct. 10-14. So several "almost-Q-Graders" like myself will have the opportunity to do our re-take tests.
I need to pass the Indonesian cupping, matching pairs and the "aroma-therapy" series called "dry distillation". I also have to pass roasted grading -- which is basically the test where you identify quakers.
So the studying begins -- and repeated cuppings of Indonesians. Please comment here if you'd like to suggest some for me to try!
