So, what is it about coffee shops?
Space for projects, relationships, and relaxation
Public places that leave space for private conversations
Abundance of power outlets
Wireless internet access
Comfy couches
Cozy tables
Sense of movement
Temporary "office" space
Quiet enough to start working
Noisy enough to continue working
Lovely variety of beverages and pastries
And good memories
Looking back over the past year, much that is important to me has happened in coffee shops -- pausing to rest and ponder after significant experiences, engaging in meaningful conversations with others, developing thoughts and ideas that have eventually borne good fruit, reading, writing, learning, and simply enjoying time "away."
