Seattle Post Intelligencer:

That morning, I flew out of bed, excited to see Kirsten, swap marketing ideas, and get my pastry fix at a new bakery!

I drove across town to meet her there, only to find out they were closed. On a Tuesday. At 9:30 a.m.

You can imagine my disappointment. No pastries and on top of it, we now had to scramble to think of another place to go for our meeting and waste time driving around town. Read full article.
