While you thought you needed the tea ceremony for the caffeine, what you really needed was the tea ceremony. – Anne Lamott
She was referring to the act of writing. But now that I think about it, it’s also why I like to drink my morning coffee at my favorite coffeehouse, the Goodbye Blue Monday. Or have a beer at my favorite pub, The Contented Cow. Since I work out of a home office, I need the social setting… a bit of a surprise for this introvert to realize. And maybe even why I tend to find myself heading down to the Olympus Athletic Club to look for a pickup game of racquetball, rather than going to our club’s trials grounds to practice on my motorcycle by myself.
