Observations from a Starbucks in LA

I've been spending a few hours sitting in a Starbucks as my friend has life things to do, alas I may be on vacation but the world keeps turning. I sit here with my laptop plugged in, very valuable real estate in a Starbucks let me tell you, as I've been blogging and catching up on social media, I can't help but do some people watching.

• A working child actress meeting with her tutor with mom in tow.
• A Jewish Gay man who is recently engaged and seeking advice from a friend on how to deal with some family members not fully accepting him.
• A man on an interview who spent this past summer working in Florida at Club Med.
• A dog (Golden Doodle or Labradoodle, I'm not sure) shaved to look like a lion.
• A woman lugging around a gallon sized zip lock bag of prescription medications (I only know this because she dropped them and then gave us all the stink eye as we turned to see what the noise was).
• Lots and lots of people tapping away on their laptops and a few reading newspapers.
• Two 20-something women laughing in the corner about a guy they both know.

All of us little orbits in the same Starbucks solar system moving about our days and lives.
