One of my favorite places to draw and to write is the Peet’s Coffee and Tea on Market near Castro. I like the window seats because I can watch the people and cars and Muni as they make their way up and down this stretch of the street. This happy looking guy entered and exited the coffee shop several times as he greeting one and then another and another of his friends who passed outside. I loved his smile, his gregariousness, and his unique little hat.
