There is an atrium at Colorado State University’s Morgan Library. I find this area a wonderful place for students, and ex-students, to hang out and study while sipping on a coffee. There is no piped in music so it is quiet and peaceful. As I write this post the leaves are fluttering like snowflakes all around me. This is a favorite time of the year for me as the temperatures are enjoyable, both night and day. But, it also is a reminder that real snowflakes will be arriving sooner than I want.

There is a coffee shop just inside the library called Morgan’s Grind. They have a decent cup of coffee, as well as lattes, both at very reasonable prices. The shop must have 15 tables and each will have at least one student camped with books and laptop. Now if you show up at 7:00 am when they open, you can have your pick of tables. No students will be found at that early. Along the east window is a bar for students to study or  read the campus newspaper.

Anyway it’s that time of year!
