Why hello, prospective new Nomad. More than a year ago, Mark & I started this group hoping to make a few new friends to enjoy all of San Francisco's cafe's and parks. We now have more than a handful of regulars, a few decafs, and a couple tea-drinkers joining us for the sunshine. Now that we sort of know what our group is all about, this is 'us', and who we hope to be someday: We're mostly 25-45y.o. folks who live in the city. A few of us know a lot about coffee, one of us even knows many of th …

It seems like a walk and then a beer or coffee would be a nice way for people to make friends, get outside, and enjoy this beautiful city. …

We folks that work from home are the envy of many - we've largely escaped the 'rat race', or at least the commuting and office politics part of it! Some of us work for a company, others work for themselves. Our time is more our own, and we can decide whether or not to check our email in our pajamas. Working from home is great, but sometimes it's nice to get out. Away from the house, and the cat or dog. Oh, and if you do want to get together for a cup of coffee with a friend at 230 PM - everyone …
