Regulars

This is only my third day hanging out at the Bucktown-Wicker Park library, and while Comcast is *finally* coming today to hook up my internet connection, it probably won't be my last. It's a good place to get out of the house and get some work done. Quieter than a cafe, free internet, and the supportive presence of neighbors also tapping away on their laptops.

I'm already recognizing people. The woman with the reddish hair who stares around the room with red-rimmed eyes half the time. I can't tell if she's tired or if she's recently been crying. The woman with highlighted and product-filled hair and a Mac. The guys with their dark-rimmed glasses all kind of blend together.
