At the Red Clock Café....

... Jac is reading "Conversations on Consciousness" and says the phrase "the ineffable experience of redness."

A late afternoon coffee break.

For you! Not me. I have a class. This is just a coffeehouse for you to talk about what you like. ADDED: There now, I'm done. Thanks for carrying on without me. And congratulations, Ernie .

Sunday Morning Café.

I'll be joining you soon, but please start the early morning talk without me.

Today's café: EVP, on the east side.

With Chris... ... who's got only a few hours left before he's a quarter of a century old. Tablescape #1: Tablescape #2: At EVP, people make drawings and slip them under the glass tabletops. Go there, and see if you can fi…

I'm still fried from that long drive yesterday. Can I get back to blogging about the news? There's the Sunday NYT over in the corner of the table, nicely sorted to include only the sections I like to read. But I got the N…

Another lazy afternoon in an Austin café.

I follow Chris into the Spider House : It's a pretty unusual café, built out of an old house that -- I guess -- had a lot of spiders in it when they moved in: There's lots of hilariously rusted, junky furniture in the yar…
