Coffee? Grab your IPad!

One of the challenges of living alone is there is typically no one to sit around in the morning with a cup of coffee.  I have to get dressed and make my way to Koffi (really, that's the name of my local) to meet up with someone, but that kind of misses the joy of those groggy first sips in my boxers and someone to share it with.

What to do?

It started years ago when a friend and I wanted to have coffee but lived on opposite sides of the country.  So, we set up a time, each went to our coffee spot, put on our headsets and talked.

Now, it's so much easier!  And, I don't have to get dressed!  Grab your iPad and pour a cup!  Pick your video platform and enjoy!

Yesterday, it was a virtual coffee with a colleague in Germany.  Last week coffee with a friend in Virginia.  It's the easiest thing to do.  No real agenda.  Just like we're sitting at Koffi or in my kitchen.  Next week, it will be a "virtual happy hour" with a group of international friends.  Skip the coffee and pour a glass of prosecco.

Try it.

Onward!
