Perils of Caffeine in the Evening

Well, I’m back from Atlanta & Charleston, and actually relishing the Seattle drizzle.  After a couple of days rushing around taking care of Seattle business, I’m ready to just sit home and veg for a couple days.

I finished up about 2 today, got a ling-needed haircut, and decided to pack up my laptop and walk over to Zoka’s for a late-afternoon  espresso and a ruminative blogging session.  The place is usually pretty busy, but, because of the rain and the resulting inability for people to lounge at the tables outside, there were no seats available.

So, I set out for Cafe Maree, another half-mile or more away.  No sweat, I need the exercise after a week of sloth on the road.  I walked in, ordered my coffee and set up my laptop.  As the screen came up, I realized I had left my reading glasses at home.  I really can’t do much,if anything, on the computer without them. 

I groped around the IE menu to set the font to “largest”, groped to the far corner in the taskbar tray for my radio icon and clicked.  The Radio composition box, at least, is big enough to see, so I plopped my cursor inside it and started typing this.  If there are misspellings, or if the handwriting is illegible, you know why.

The ruminative post I was planning, then, is postponed due to rain and low visibility.  Consult your travel agent to book a later post, or reroute to another blog.
