Sitting in Coffee Shops

That is something I do more often than perhaps anyone should bother. I write that as here in Boise, I sit in Dawson Taylor next to two lovely young women, both of whom have nice strawberry blond hair. One is a nursing student; the other is working on getting her PhD in writing at USC. What’s nice is sitting near them falling into conversation; however, the challenge at the same time is not talking to them too much. One doesn’t want to be annoying to those which they would like to see again on friendly terms.

Of course, then it is that those nice enough to allow one to join in their conversation, without disapproving or frustrated looks, find the work that had them previously occupied. To be sure, being self-entertained is a primary motivator for bringing the laptop to the coffee shop.

Of course, then we can be reminded that we showed up here at the coffee shop with a laptop for a reason in the first place. Yes – that’s right, there is work to be done.
