GREAT LINES HERE, MARK.

"A steady diet of triple mocha chocolate espresso coffees with three sugars and cream..." HA HA HA

"... all the writers were too busy ensuring they didn’t miss a day of their six-million-days-in-a-row writing challenge to notice." DARN! IT'S SO HARD TO COMPETE!

" I began my fourteen-hour wait to see someone employed in the medical field who was not yet a doctor." THIS WOULD BE FUNNY IF IT WEREN'T TRUE.

Thanks, Sharron. The truth is funny. Sometimes you have to laugh at the absurdity or you might cry.

Personally, I can’t write in a cafe. Too noisy. Too many distractions. I need quiet to write.

Yes, Me, too. Not even music.

Especially not music. Music always draws my attention. How can anyone write when Kung Fu Fighting is playing?!

I can see my reaction in a coffee shop.

I see someone fall on the floor out of the corner of my eye. First thought: I should go help!

I look and notice it’s That Guy. The one always hogging the best places to plug in chargers. Y’know, I have limited medical knowledge, I would just make things worse, and these witty but brief comments won’t write themselves, right? Better to stay put.

He’s gone. Drat! Goth Girl got the plugs table. Too slow, too slow…

A café writer captured to perfection. It sounds a lot like personal experience. 🤣

I laughed out loud. Literally. I guess that LLOL. Thanks, Mark! I'm glad you didn't float away.

Thanks, Richard. I try to avoid accidentally floating away when I can. What a hassle!

If you keep talking about donuts I’m going to have to go in search of one!

And the problem is?

No problem! I just might need to take longer walks! 🤭

A win-win if you ask me.

“Perhaps. If you unexpectedly see one on the floor....

No doubt.
