We all know that I'm a fanatic about writing in coffee shops. And were anyone to ask me "why?" again, I've got a new story to add to the collection.
I'm at the counter of my local coffee shop at lunchtime. My favorite waitress comes over to say hello. Turns out it's her birthday. she gives me a piece of her cake. We're starting on good terms here. She remembers when I was working on JETIX, and tells me that she finally saw it on TV with her son, who is prime JETIX-age. I didn't mention the whole Emmy thing, because ... well, it's her day not mine. I'm happy to listen. She asks what I'm working on now. I tell her I'm writing a book. And she says that her ex-husband just landed a book deal. How nice, I say. That's great. She says it's called "Absence of Phallus." I was all, excuse me? And she kept saying it. "You know, PHALLUS. PHALLUS." Yes. I know. She continues. "My husband had a sex change operation. She's really quite good looking now. She used to work with my grandmother at Boeing. I showed my grandmother a picture of her once, you know, after we got divorced, and she said, 'who's the booby gal?' and I said, 'Grandma, it's George!'" She smiles at me as I sit there speechlessly eating her cake, and she says, "I'm not embarrased. You know, it's just part of my story." And that's the wisdom of the coffee shop. // posted at

I had a sex change operation as well. Unfortunately, I really suck now.
