Cafe Writers


Deb and I have been writing together ever since we  met; in fact, we first met in a writing class.  For years we wrote in various coffee houses in San Francisco. Then she moved to Mountain View, but that didn't stop us.  I drove down there and we wrote -- or she drove up to Oakland where I had recently moved and we wrote. It got easier when she moved to Oakland, too.  That was more than a decade ago. Yesterday we went to Woody's, a coffee house conveniently located on Park Street and -- we wrote.  Now that we've gotten older, the people around us seem younger and strangely weighted down with unnecessary equipment: laptops, I Pods, cell phones and such. Being oldsters, we just stick to pen and paper.
