A beginning...

I used to live in coffee shops. I wrote, I drank coffee, I existed as part of what I thought was a uniquely Portland subculture.

Then I stopped. I'm not sure why. I just wasn't there anymore. 

My favorite coffee shop haunt has changed hands now and not what it once was. All my overly-caffeinated brothers and sisters have gone their separate ways. 

It's been over a decade since I regularly spent time sipping lattes and writing anything at all. 

But here I am. I'm back. 

And this time, there's pie.
