I need a better phrase at the end.

I'll bet you read the end first, after the title. :-)
I love being at the coffee shop in the morning.  It really is amazing.  It smells good, it's warm, it has a creative atmosphere, and the cashier is always really nice.  I'm a bit of a regular.  I've been a regular at several places.  The library at the community college campus.  The DX.  And now here.  You don't exactly get special privileges or anything (not that I've noticed, anyway), but the people know your name and there's a particular pleasure in knowing things about the place that other people don't.  The library doesn't charge fines.  (They don't publicize that, but it's true.)  The people who close at the DX often play games or read books in between the rare customers.  The workers at the coffee shop will give you a free coffee sometimes.  It never happens when anyone else is around, and they usually have a reason for it (once the person who opened the coffee shop was late and she gave me a free mocha in penance), but once in a while there's no purpose to it.  I rather like it.
And now, I must jettison my brain in the direction of math.
