I'm sitting in a very nice coffee house in Granville, Ohio near Denison University. Jim and I drove up at o'dark-thirty this morning for a meeting.The coffee house is not what one would imagine as being a traditional caffeine den as it's built within a beautiful house on a road near the river. Aptly named, it is called the River Road Coffee House.
Within five minutes of stepping through the doors I am immediately filled with sense of both longing and disappointment. I would love for Portsmouth to have such a coffee house near campus - but I don't think it will happen for several more years if at all. This place, the River Road, has a very warm and inviting atmosphere. It encourages people to spend a few hours and relax. Just from where I'm sitting, there are tables full of laptops and text books and students / professors a plenty.
Ahh... Academia.
Feels like home.
More later.

Granville is a pretty little town--it was about five minutes east of Pataskala, where Zak and I used to live.
We nearly bought a house there--there were some really nice ones around at the time.
As it turned out we used to go there on Sundays for coffee and a walk in the spring, fall and early summer.
A very sweet little town.
Hey, thanks for Stopping By River Road Coffeehouse. I work there and also put together the site for them. Stop by again when you can. ;)
