NY, NY

The line for Starbucks was out the door this morning at around 9:15. Unbelievable. In response to this I made the odd decision of going to Brooklyn Bagel and Deli across the street to get coffee. I really wanted a place to sit and read the paper more than coffee because I was early for a 9:30 meeting. But, you know, you can't sit for free unless you're at a bus stop. So I get a coffee and go upstairs to the seating area. It's hot up there. There are a bunch of kids sitting around who clearly have no intention of making it to school. One of the kids is nervously bouncing his feet on the floor so hard that I am vibrating. This is not the way to start the day. If only there was another Starbucks in the neighborhood. Kidding.
