• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

So sorry I missed the annual gathering. I'm dog sitting in Connecticut and we had a wicked rain/wind storm that knocked out our power for a couple days. Thankful for their wood stove! Hope everyone is well. Happy holidays! And cheers to 2026 xo

I'm just a few miles from the Connecticut border. Power only flickered here, but we lost internet for a while. Lots of other places around us did lose power, tho'.

The local supermarket doesn't have a generator, so it went dark for a while. However, the Dunkin' Donuts next door to it does have a generator. Priorities.
