Coffee House Conversation
April 18, 2007Shachar Kafka - Post Facilities Supervisor
Ahhhh….coffee shops….the only hang out where they really want you to hang out. A few years ago my sister and I started meeting on Sundays at our local coffee shop in Baltimore. She was supposed to teach me how to crochet, but our conversations always ended up on every other topic except yarn! I think that we both learned a lot more about each other by enjoying each other’s company casually.
The coffee shop was a great place to meet and catch up without feeling like we were taking up valuable space or someone’s time. Whether we only got coffee or ended up staying for lunch, the owner would always make sure we were happy and comfortable. With our hectic lives, it is really nice to have a place to relax and catch up without a time limit.

Shaun: I totally admire the work you are doing with the three wolves and the personal sacrafices you have made. The overall scientific community regarding wolf behavior will be the richer for it. I do however feel that turning the wolves loose in their natural environment would be a major mistake! Although you are doing your best, in reality they really have no survival or communication skills as taught to each other by a wild pack and siblings within a that wild pack of wolves. These pups were never raised in the wild and therefore do not know anyother way of existance. They can't miss what they don't know. I am certainly not a Wolf expert but can only three Wolves survive? It seems to me that a large pack would have a better chance of a sucessful hunt! I don't believe that a wild pack would allow your three Wolver to infilltrate their pack and may kill them as three would be really outnumbered. I know you really want to prove to the world that your theories are correct and maybe they are but think of the welfare of the three Wolves. I think they should be kept where they are enabeling yourself and others to learn more and enjoyed by all.

Sadly, I spend far too much time in coffee houses. I suppose if I were older during the 'beatnik' generation, I would have a goatee and funky clothes. Even with all the cliches, the smell of a coffee house and rustling of newspaper, typing of laptops - its intoxicating...

I couldn't wait to see your show Monday night after seeing the previews. And it didn't disappoint--I was completely blown away by your work. I've been enthralled with wolves ever since caring for a friend's dog that was part-wolf. They are magnificent creatures, and it gave me goosepumps to see you interact with them. I also don't feel that it's necessary for you to have to comment on your personal life...but I guess people are fascinated by your lifestyle.
I'm only disappointed that the show is not a series---when will we get more??!! I can't wait for an update!
