Who: Gavin Maher
Where: Stationary store, Starbucks
When: July 1st / 2009 - Mid Afternoon
Gavin walked out of the stationary store with a bag. Not just a small one either. One of decent size. Gavin liked bags of decent size. Mostly because he felt a bit silly carrying a tiny one around when the item inside could merely have been placed in to his pocket without the fuss or the pollution to the world. However today his purchase warranted a bag, a paper one (never plastic for Gavin, and 100 percent recycled if he could) and he carried it under his arm as he made his way across the street to the town's Starbucks. Heading in, he opened the door for an older lady on her way out, and she was happy to have the help.
Gavin got himself a blended green tea (he didn't drink coffee after all, his body was a temple and all that) and sat down at one of the more comfortable, cushy seats near the
window. The cool air that the air conditioner provided was welcome from the humidity of the day. You felt like you had just taken an unnaturally warm bath when you merely stepped outside. He looked around before putting his brief case down and crossing his foot over his knee, taking a few sips of his drink before pulling out of the bag, his new journal.
After removing the plastic, he tugged a pen out of his bag and sat, quietly, thinking before he opened up his book and began to
( write. )Gavin let the ink dry on the page, closed the journal, and set back in the chair, sipping at his drink. It was a good day.
