The espresso shop is such an interesting place. The crowd this morning includes a big group of high school girls. One at a time they get out of a parent’s car (or minivan) as they are dropped off at the curb. Wednesday is late start day for school so they have an extra hour. The table has an adult leader, so it must be a committee. A group of young men that meet every Wednesday morning has finished and left.

A couple of men from the university, a financial planner in his white shirt, a woman from the business across the street, a state park employee, and more—it’s a motley crew but I expect we all have more in common than what we will ever have reason to discover.
