The "Third Place"

I feel a bit lost - in my effort to put my feeling into words - regarding my days spent in that most famous of "Third Places."


















-As a child I imagined a future in which I pondered the great riddles of life and discovered the purpose of things as my days on Earth passed and the answers unfolded in time.

-These days, I seem focused on smaller matters - like how anyone can order a skinny mocha with extra whipped cream and manage to keep a straight face.
