someotherguy on why it's a big hairy deal to us that Temescal is open late now, and why we were so excited to make it there last night. This made me smile, so I'm sharing it:

There's a coffee shop in San Diego called Claire De Lune. It was one of
our favorite places to go, and one of the few things we missed moving up
here. Temescal Cafe has a lot of the same vibe, and it's been our favorite
cafe since we moved here, but it closed at 4. We spent the last year
saying it would be perfect if it stayed open later. A few months ago, they
announced that they would be staying open late starting in late April, then
that date slipped to an unspecified future date. Then Monday they just
suddenly announced they were open late starting immediately. We planned to
go, but the washing machine at the laundromat malfunctioned and by the time
we got that straightened out it was too late.

So it's basically your classic tale of love lost, and the struggle to
regain it, complete with last minute plot twists and eventual redemption,
only with a coffee shop.

And Serene and I are a couple of big kids. ;-)
