I\u2019m on my way to my first Comic-Con in San Diego, the granddaddy of all comic conventions. It\u2019s one of those bucket list items that I\u2019ve wanted to check off for quite a while. I\u2019ll be heading down south with my firstborn daughter, who has to attend for work. So, it\u2019s a day stopover in Burbank to pick her up before driving down I-5 together. As I wait for my daughter\u2019s day at the office to finish up, I\u2019ve been walking around \u201cbeautiful downtown Burbank\u201d just people watching and catching all the sights. Busy place, Burbank. And nice, really. But uh-oh, my phone is running dangerously low on battery. Which it shouldn\u2019t because it\u2019s less than a year old! So now what? Well, I\u2019m doing something right now that I never thought I never would. I\u2019m writing this blog post from inside a Starbucks. I\u2019ve ordered coffee and plugged my phone into one of the many power outlets to charge up. Fortunately, I found an empty outlet near a stand-up table, the only one available. I\u2019ve always wondered how writers and others can do work inside a Starbucks. Writing to me is a solitary activity. I\u2019ve always felt the distractions in a Starbucks or other coffee shop type of environment would drive me crazy so I never even attempted it. But here I am, kinda forced to do it as sort of a cover-up just to charge my phone. And \u2026yeah, I hate it. Soooo many distractions. How can anyone concentrate? But it\u2019s only a one-time thing for me and my phone is charging. So \u2026onward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
