Want to get away?

   I'm like Joe Soucheray. Most of the inventions I dream up have already
   been invented.
   It was a nice day I thought, left early to walk home like I did
   yesterday, about 5.5 miles. I took the bus to work yesterday and
   today. Alas, it rained just enough to force a pit stop at Mad Jack's
   in Brooklyn Park, where I now am live-blogging.
   Maybe I need a life, but I dug out some work to do while sipping an
   adult beverage. I don't know it's the beer, the bartender, or simply
   being away from the office, but I'm getting far more done here than
   had I stayed. It reminds me of a few weeks ago when I was just not
   happy with the approach I had taken to problem, but driving on the way
   to Weight Watchers had one of the best ideas in years. That one idea
   saved me two weeks of work at least, and like most good ideas, was
   simpler and cleaner.
   I'm wondering if any bars or restaurants have figured this out,
   provided laptop friendly facilities with the necessary space, power,
   and maybe even a wired broadband connection. But Wi-Fi is fine, too,
   like here at Mad Jack's.
   It's almost 4 pm. Not sure where or when diminishing returns set it,
   but I think I'll risk it with one more beer. I'm not driving and
   hopefully the Legislature hasn't come up with RTWI - riding transit
   while intoxicated.
