The re-up  
I guess I've watched way too many episodes of The Wire lately, and read too much Richard Price. Now, every time I go to the kitchen to refill my coffee mug I think of it as the "re-up."

On an almost separate note, I'm delighted to report that besides my cubby at Writers WorkSpace, there are a couple of coffee shops right by our apartment that are laptop-friendly. It's less than a block to this one, where (taking a page from the [info]gregvaneekhout playbook) I spent a little time on Thursday afternoon:

Let Them Eat Chocolate!

This is why you live in a city, kids.

Looks very nice. I'm trying to control my envy, in fact.

Of the coffee shop? Dude, you live in New York.

Ha! Sadly, the coffee shops are becoming less laptop friendly. My favorite one has just instituted a 1 1/2 hour seating limit.

Yikes! Can you re-up your time with another cuppa joe?
