H. reports she almost cried when she read Verna's is closing, due to competition from Dunkin' Donuts:

... Not only are they the best, but I used to work with Val, the owner's wife once upon a time ago. I can't believe it's closing. I hate you Dunkin Donuts!

Karrie, who had never been to Verna's, decided to give it a try before it closes for good on Dec. 30. She gets there this morning around 9:00:

My mornings have a basic routine. I stop at the Dunkin near my house and get my morning fix of coffee. Turbo ice, with two shots of espresso, no sugar and a splat of cream. No matter what else changes about me, I always take my coffee the same way.

I have been on a diet since the first of the year, dropping over 50 pounds and 6 clothing sizes. While I have regained a few of those pounds, I have promised myself I would get back on track, moving more and eating less. Which has worked for me so far.

Until today, at Dunkin Donuts.

A recent article in the Boston Globe, asking the question why another donut chain failed in Massachusetts mentioned DD sales more coffee than donuts. Even the newest adds for DD mention their coffee, and other drinks ignoring the donuts for which the store is named. Because, America, or at least this American runs on Dunkin. Coffee, not donuts, but this morning, they got me.
