Today I went to Joe Bar

I am in the process of expanding my small little world of work and responsibility by slowly adding to my experiences in and around Seattle.  Soon I will begin writing a book.  My characters need to get out and about and so I am doing just what I want them to do.  Joe Bar is a small coffee house on Roy St.  It  is in an old building that capitalizes on "old" and is quite interesting.

One can order coffee, crepes and other things or just sit and take up room with or without one's laptop.  People occupy space, have conversations that can easily be overheard by others and look and feel cool while doing all this.  Old and young go to Joe Bar.  I happen to be one of the "older" ones.  I would not have known about Joe Bar if my son had not suggested going there.  He said I am Adventure Deprived and I suppose he is correct.  My life is mostly made up of going to work, coming home, doing  a great deal of reading, doing repairs on my house and in my spare time, search for enlightenment.  It keeps me busy alright.  But something is missing.  Or rather, something is NOT missing that I would prefer to be missing.   I would prefer to not have to go to work.  This is a relatively new turn of events for me.  For many years my work was my life (or a very large part of it) and now it is not.  It is time to open new pathways in my life before it is too late to do so and so this blog will be the recording of what is to come.
