Cafe sketching in Paris

The plan was to do a little sketch and then I just kept adding more detail.  And then I realized, I really should  plan for the time, because it always takes longer to do a simple sketch than I think it will.  

I take back an earlier statement I made about wearing leather

Apparently, you can wear leather when you're a senior,  if you have that grizzled, Parisian thing going for you.

There was a sketch here that I WISHED I had gotten, but I couldn't because the guy was  scoping out the cafe. You really can't make eye contact by accident with those guys.

Where's my RAM?

My work computer was running a bit slow and I was approved for more RAM but it was taking forever for it to be installed.  So I sent this to IT.

It wasn't IT's fault, but as it often is the case, just because it's not your fault doesn't mean it's not your problem.  Our IT guy responded, asking if I would be willing to do a sketch for him, showing an IT guy, dragging a computer cart.
