Writing in a Coffee Shop ? Speaking of Words and Quilts

April 2, 2012 by Amy Isaman

pic from microsoft word clip art

One of my goals for this spring break was to take my laptop to a coffee shop and write.? Just about every time I enter into a coffee shop, I see people with laptops.? Clearly, there is a portion of the population who find them productive places to work, and I wanted to see if it worked for me, if pushing myself out of my quiet writing comfort zone worked or if I found it horribly distracting.

When I told my husband my plan, he responded by telling me about his good friend who works in coffee shops just so he can check out all the good looking moms who go in during the work day to meet with their friends though my devoted hubby swears he?s never carted his laptop into Starbucks to work.? Hmmmm.

My concerns with writing in a public place were that I?d see people that I know since I live and teach in a small town.? I worried that I?d spend my entire allotted writing time catching up with someone.? I was also concerned that it might be too noisy or that I?d spend my entire time watching everyone else since I am an avid people watcher.? My last concern was that I?d feel self-conscious and silly trying to write in public and that would squash my creativity.

I hoped that the change in venue would jumpstart the writing goals I had set for this week off of work, so Saturday afternoon, I packed up my clipboard filled with paper, my favorite writing pen, my favorite writing book for when I?m stuck, and my laptop.? I wanted all bases covered.? I chose a smaller shop for my experiment, and I went all the way to town, forgoing the small shop in my community, in which I was sure to see friends or students.

When I first walked in, I knew the first person I saw, the cashier.? Uh oh. She greeted me by name and began to chat, so I decided to sit on a couch out of sight of the front counter though knowing her did come in handy when she called out, ?Amy, these your keys on the counter?? They were.

I ensconced myself in the rear corner of the shop on a comfy couch, and I didn?t feel self-conscious at all.? I began by writing by hand which I often do, but quickly switched to my laptop.? The words flowed. A few people came in and out of the shop, but it was relatively quiet other than the employees chatting.? I ended up writing over 1800 words and liking what I wrote. For me, this is a successful writing session.

I?m not sure that writing in a public place is something I would want to do every day or even every month, but to jumpstart my writing, it worked.

Apparently, my muses like the occasional latte too.? They definitely came to visit.

TX Professor Fired for Refusing to Watch Vulgar Gay Pride Play at Lamar University

Wow, this happened right here in southeast Texas.

A theater arts department professor, Linda Ozmun, at Lamar University in Beaumont, TX had no problem doing her job. She was teaching kids about theater arts. That was her job and she was doing it just fine. The school wanted more than that though. According to a lawsuit that the terminated professor filed, the school chairwoman Judith Sebesta, and eventually the Dean, told her that she had to attend a vulgar gay pride play, by Tim Miller, or else she would be terminated. The professor is a Christian who did not want to go to a vulgar gay pride play. It was not part of her job, and she would not be working at the play. The school just wanted her to personally go see the play. This play had been planned once before at the college, but it was cancelled after the community complained that it would be too offensive and vulgar. The play was brought back though and the professor requested a reasonable accommodation to be excused from attending this offensive production. The dean of her college refused this simple accommodation and threatened plaintiff with disciplinary action if she failed to attend the performance. Because of her religious beliefs, plaintiff failed to attend the performance and as a result she was disciplined for her religious beliefs. Lamar University has discriminated against this professor on the basis of her religious beliefs in violation of the Texas anti-discrimination laws.

As Americans, we should tolerate other lifestyles. On the other hand, Americans should never be forced to accept an alternate lifestyle as normal or be forced to go to a gay pride play in violation of that person's Christian beliefs. That is the homosexual agenda though. They claim they just want to be tolerated, but in reality, they will not be happy until they have forced Americans to accept their lifestyle as normal and right. They will not be happy until they force Christian organizations to provide health coverage that includes sex changes. They will not be happy until they have indoctrinated our children that they are bad if they do not agree with homosexuality, like this Fort Worth, TX kid who got suspended for simply BELIEVING that homosexuality is wrong. They will not be happy until they have forced states to recognize their relationships as a marriage even though the people have voted that marriage is only between a man and a woman.

From Courthouse News Service:
Gay Dances Were Too Much, Professor Says
By CAMERON LANGFORD

BEAUMONT, Texas (CN) - A former tenure-track theater and dance professor claims in court that Lamar University administrators unfairly reprimanded her for refusing, for religious reasons, not to attend a gay performance artist's show on campus.

Linda Ozmun sued Lamar University and its Theater and Dance Department Chairwoman Judith Sebesta, in Jefferson County Court.

"In the fall of 2010, the Department of Theatre and Dance wanted to bring to campus an 'artist' named Tim Miller," Ozmun says in her complaint. "Mr. Miller is an openly homosexual man who advocates for normalizing sexuality and for homosexual marriage.

"His one-man show is about his homosexual lifestyle using obscene language and sexual gestures. As a result of complaints from the community, his visit along with his performance was canceled.

"In response to the cancellation, several theatre students organized a show called 'Coming Out Collective.' It was billed as a celebration of homosexuality.

"Because of her religious beliefs, plaintiff did not attend the show. After the show in December 2010, defendant Judith Sebesta, chair of the department questioned plaintiff as to why she failed to attend the event.

"Plaintiff explained to Mrs. Sebesta that her religious beliefs prevented her from attending the event."

Ozmun, who was in her fourth year teaching at the university, says that in her annual review, Sebesta "included plaintiff's failure to attend the event as part of her evaluation, and gave her a grade of 'unacceptable.'"

Ozmun claims she then "followed university policies and filed a grievance, which was returned and noted 'unheard.'"

When the university decided to bring Tim Miller back to perform his show, Ozmun says, the college dean "threatened plaintiff with disciplinary action if she failed to attend the performance."

"In the fall of 2011 semester, the University did bring Tim Miller ... to Lamar," the complaint states. "The purpose was two-fold: Perform his show 'Glory Box,' and conduct a workshop and student performance with students of Lamar 'to help them find their voice.' Plaintiff contacted defendant and requested a reasonable accommodation to be excused from attending this offensive production. The dean of her college refused this simple accommodation and threatened plaintiff with disciplinary action if she failed to attend the performance.

"Because of her religious beliefs, plaintiff failed to attend the performance and as a result she was disciplined for her religious beliefs.

"Defendants have discriminated against plaintiff on the basis of her religious beliefs in violation of the Texas anti-discrimination laws."

Ozmun says the university also retaliated against her for filing a discrimination claim against it. Ozmun no longer teaches at Lamar University.

She seeks, lost wages, actual damages, punitive damages and "reinstatement of her position with any adverse evaluations expunged from her record."

Ozmun is represented by Barry Bennett with Eddins & Bennett and Michael McGown with Benckenstein, Norvell & Nathan, both of Beaumont.

What your winning lottery ticket buys

Frenzy surrounds huge lottery.

?

By Allison Linn

Welcome to the 1 percent, hypothetical lottery winner.? Here?s what you can buy with your winnings.

The Mega Millions lottery jackpot hit a record $540 million Thursday and could climb further before Friday evening?s drawing. If you're lucky enough to beat the 1-in-176 million odds and win, the bad news is you won?t be able to take home that full amount. Still, you should be pretty well set for life.

Assuming you choose the lump-sum option of an estimated $389 million (instead of the full $540 million over 26 years) you would take home $291 million after lottery officials withhold 25 percent for federal gaming taxes, according to Arlen Harris of the Washington's?Lottery, which participates in the Mega Millions.

While you still might be on the hook for state taxes, you would have the kind of money to afford multiple homes, travel by private jet and take up a fancy hobby like collecting fine wine or antique cars, said Bruce Wallin, editorial director of the luxury goods magazine Robb Report.

"That kind of money affords the ability to pursue your passions to the kind of extreme that a lot of us dream of," he said.

You could even follow in the underwater path of Hollywood director James Cameron and spend a few million on a personal submarine, one of the latest trends among the superrich.

Still, Wallin cautions that you might want to try before you buy. For example, a 220-foot luxury yacht, complete with a crew and all the toys you can imagine can be rented for about $300,000 a week. That's well within your new budget and a good way to test the waters, literally, before spending $10 million or $20 million on your own yacht.

If you are ready to buy, here are some items to consider for your shopping list.

Your own island

Windermere

Allan Island in Washington state

What?s the first thing that?s going to happen after you win the lottery? Inevitably, that guy who was a jerk to you in high school or that relative who?s been ridiculing you for years is going to find you on Facebook and start hitting you up for money.

Time to get away. Far away.

Private islands range in price from under $50,000 to $160 million. For just a small fraction of your winnings, you can be the owner of 292-acre Allan Island in Washington state, listed for $13.5 million.

Still, the upkeep alone can be daunting. Wallin recommends renting an island before you buy.

"One of the things you'd want to do in winning the lottery is take a great trip," he said.

Your own ranch?

Bill Mcdavid / Hall and Hall

Maybe you get seasick easily or you fancy yourself more of a rugged Western type. Don?t despair, you can still find plenty of privacy on the mainland.

With just about one-tenth of your winnings -- or $29.5 million -- you could be the owner of Mill Creek Ranch, a nearly 26,000-acre ranch in Red Bluff, Calif., with a 7,388-square-foot Spanish Colonial home.

Of course, you?ll have to budget about $48,623 a year in taxes. For perspective, that?s a little less than the median annual household income in this country.

A jet

Mike Wintroath / AP

A Hawker 4000 jet airplane

The good news about the Red Bluff property ? it?s just a few miles from a jet-capable airport.

Here?s where you might want to take some advice from the other 1 percenters. Warren Buffett?s Berkshire Hathaway owns NetJets, which provides fractional ownership of jets and saves you the hassle of having to buy a whole jet all on your own.

The Marquis Jet Card gets you 25 hours of flight time for a mere $119,000 a year.

If you take the lottery's annual payment option of about $16.6 million after taxes, that would represent just three days' worth of your annual payment.

Your dream car

Porsche

Before you won the lottery, maybe your idea of a dream car was just something that didn?t leak too much oil and was less likely to break down on the freeway during the heavy commute hours.

Now, you can afford to have a lot more fun on the road.

The Porsche 918 Spyder may be a good option, if you can wait a while.

Porsche only plans to make 918 of these, so it will set you back $845,000. But on the bright side you?ll be saving money on gas. The plug-in gas-electric hybrid, due out in November 2013, has V8 engine that generates 500 horsepower plus two electric motors that help it get an estimated 78 miles per gallon.

A great party

Frontiers Elegant Journeys

Orient Express Royal Scotsman

Look, you?ve just won the lottery: Beer and chips at your place is just not going to do.

When it comes to luxury party planning, the options are endless. If you want to keep the gathering intimate, and keep the paparazzi and unwanted guests out of your hair, it?s best to keep moving.

The Royal Scotsman will take you and up to 36 of your closest friends on a four-day excursion through the Scottish Highlands. Yes, you?ll be traveling on your own private train. The ?rolling house party? starts at just $166,800, or about 1 percent of those annual payments.

A sports team, or a few companies

The Mega Millions lottery hit $540 million on Thursday, reports CNBC's Darren Rovell.

?

If you do win the lottery, the most common bad joke/piece of advice you're likely to hear is, "Don't spend it all in one place." (Wow, is that going to get old.)

But if you do want to go big, CNBC notes that your winnings are enough to buy the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League or a medium-sized company like Rosetta Stone or Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
