Blogging and the Internet has become more evolved than just a niche of a few computer geeks late night in their bedrooms writing about politics, electronics and Star Trek.
I myself am political junkie, Star Trek fan….but know far from even a little about electronics. I turn on my computer, point and click. It is simple, fun and a connection to an outside world so many enjoy.
Both my boys go to a school that is about 40 minutes away from home. Due to gas prices, time, environmental issues and the like, I have needed to stay close by. So, I, like about 10 other people currently in close proximity of me, have discovered the neighborhood coffee house.
Far from a Starbucks, this coffee house, has a couch full of local knitters, the table of retired, motorcycle riding Vietnam Vets talking politics all morning, the salesmen on their computers and bluetooths and college kids researching papers. I sit on my couch with my laptop on my lap, a constant cup full of Creme Brule coffee and my fingers pounding out my latest prose.
Blogging enriches the soul and the franchise-free coffee house is the best place to let my creative juices flow.
Enjoy the companionship and the delicious coffee! Life is full of small but significant pleasures and it sounds like you are relishing these ones!
