Are we dating ourselves when we admit that we know that song well enough to sing it? 
I used to sing that at the top of my lungs all the time. Now it is stuck in my head Smiley

<sigh>  good point.  At least for those with a Starbucks available.  I guess there'll be lots of other Panera days...

We could make another day be Panera Kindle and Pastry day?? LOL That would work for me!

I did not see any listings for Tucson, Arizona in this thread or the one at Amazon. If there is a meeting in Tucson, I would love to hear about it.

Otherwise, since it is the first Saturday of the month, I will be at Dao's Tai Pan restaurant, http://www.cacdao.com/, instead for the June meeting of the Tucson Origami Club from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Instead of coffee, I will be drinking a mango boba. Now I definitely have to put my origami diagrams on my Kindle!

I don't think that I will be up before 11am.  Nice idea though.  There are a lot of Starbucks close to me.  Now I'm going to look up Panera's and see if they have one in Manhattan.  Sounds so good!

Nah that's not dating ourselves, my kids (teenagers) know the song because it's on my playlist of music on my computer. Convoy and the follow up song 'Round the world with the Rubber Duck". So if My teens know it, you can always say Oh Someone in my family still plays that song, yeah I know it.

I didn't make it either.  In fact, I just rolled out of bed.  Rather snuggle with my dh and dog than hop into the car and drive to Starbucks (or B&N).  Sorry, fellow Kindlers!

Brownies...yum...I have been craving brownies for weeks.  Maybe today is the day to treat myself.
Sorry this is off topic.  But I do think Starbucks sells brownies.

I was at the Starbucks on Forest Ave here in Portland with my daughter and her friend. We spent about an hour there reading. It was very pleasant. I didn't see any other Kindles but one person asked me about mine and said she was thinking of getting one for her mother.

Now that you say that, maybe they don't.  Panera's does though.  I have never tried the frozen ones.  Are they good?  I guess I better make sure I have a box mix though.  I haven't made any brownies from scratch for years.  Mixes are too easy.

I didn't see any brownies at Starbucks but I did have a very tasty slice of cinnamon swirl coffee cake.

Well, I just came back from my Starbucks trip. No other Kindles to report, BUT...

I did show off my kindle over and over while I was there. I really should have had my laptop because 3 people wanted to order one right then and there. I coulda been hooked up to Amazon, but oh well... 1 said he had other errands to run, but would be ordering it tonight, a husband and wife left to go order one for each of them. And.... another couple decided to get one for HIS dad, who is bedridden and has poor eyesight, but they felt he would be able to read on the font settings 5 or 6.

BTackitt, congratulations on a succesful morning.  Too bad you didn't have your computer.  You could have been logged onto Amazon through the Kindleboards and the Boards would have gotten the credit.
