It was long overdue, my precious Saturday morning out to Panera Bread. I would have liked to sleep in on this wintry morning, but 'alone time' was high on my need list and I couldn't wait to cozy into a booth near the crackling fireplace at my favorite coffee place.
There I sat with my laptop, notepads, emails, school papers, a couple of books that might get read, my hazelnut coffee and low-fat blueberry muffin, listening to classical music in the background. It doesn't get much better than this. Suddenly my glorious ambiance was shattered as three young men came staggering in to order breakfast, obviously hung over from the previous evening.
Of the three, one young man stood out largely due to his prominent voice. His inappropriate conversation transmitted across the dining room, as he bragged along with his buddies about the night before. "Get it to go!!!" I prayed silently, "get it to GO!". It was not to be. All three jerks studs chose the table next to mine. Ugh.
"Surely they didn't realize how loud they were while in line!" I thought to myself, "I'm sure they'll settle down when they notice all the people around them". There was a group of older men having a Bible study in one corner along with a smattering of older ladies sharing and enjoying the quiet.
