There’s a cool local coffee hang that I am now becoming a regular on Saturday mornings “only” because of the Thomas the Train set for my 19-month old to occupy himself with while I can sip on my vanilla cappuccino. While he does his thing my 10-year old is on the Mac doing his thing due to the wireless network that is available. Wow, my life with my boys is getting easier on Saturday mornings. Love it!

I must say that the landscape in the “Thomas the Train” area is changing quite a bit. The wall is lined, not only with screaming kids diving for the neglected Thomas the Train on the floor, but with Dads! Maybe one or two moms are in the mix but the majority of us there are Dads! How cool is that? I like to say that it is “hip” to be a Dad and a slight shift in culture is showing. You don’t believe me? Find the local coffee hang with a Thomas the Train set and you will see what I mean.
