Simple reason why I hit the coffeehouses often,
besides the elixir of the gods, is that most of the ones I visit give off this air of productivity. Social productivity. I find that I am just productive enough to make the trip worthwhile because it gives me time away to think and you get to watch people. I love watching people. Most of you love watching people. Don't be shy. You can sit there and pretend to read the paper all you want just as I am pretending that I am working tirelessly on my blogs or homework. There is no shame in it.
And then there is the occasional random conversation. I love these most of all. Always small talk but for a moment, it is a connection to another human that has a similar passion for coffee, atmosphere, and the company of strangers.
Yes, I know, stop romanticizing coffeehouses. *sigh* You never know, the love of my life may be hiding behind a good pumpkin mocha.
By the way, there is a new artist up at CUPS Coffee and Tea on Grandin in Roanoke! It is a wonderful mixed media artist with the last name Fuller. Love how bright and cheerful it is!
Cheers!
