I am referring, of course, to that investigator's staple - coffee. And a reminder that it is "International Buy a PI a Coffee Day 2013" on Saturday 16 March.

As Agent Dale Cooper once said: "I still can't get the taste of fish-filtered coffee out of my mouth."

International 'Buy a PI a Coffee' Day 2013

Yep, bookmark March 16 as International 'Buy a PI a Coffee' Day and let's make it a resounding success this time.

I'll have mine a short espresso, with just a hint of sugar.
