It was 18 years ago, in spring 2003, that I fell in love with the whole coffee shop studying/working idea, and it’s stuck since (as everyone in Columbus and DC who knows me knows). I missed losing myself for hours in these almost-magical-for-me places. I’m so glad to be back.

The first thing I really dug into at a coffee shop was my first work as a research assistant for @MarcSpindelman, coding the Lawrence v. Texas briefs, which meant reading every merits and amicus brief closely — a couple of weekends that, looking back, probably changed my life.
And it continued. A few years later, I studied (successfully) for the bar at a coffee shop. Years later, I started my journalism career writing stories from coffee shops in DC. And so it continued through to tonight. Sitting there after more than a year away filled my heart. 💖
(To be clear, I had definitely been supporting Tryst, sitting outside and such, but today was my first day back working inside!)
