Office Hours at Slope Cafes

From Leon Freilich, Verse Responder:

Two Slopers are part of what the Times Op-Ed page calls the laptop brigade.

Architect Bobb Jadhav at Tea Lounge and investment banker
Ruthie McCombs at the 7th Ave. Barnes & Noble keep regular
office hours at their chosen home-away-from-workplace
tables. Both are unemployed.

Smaller cafes, however, are fighting for their economic lives by
Un-Wi-Fi-ing, covering electric outlets & posting no-lunchtime-
computing signs. 

And so it goes, down with cups of  jobless java.

I would also like to get in touch with Ruthie McCombs. Is it possible to have her e-mail me?

I'd like to send a note to the Ruthie McCombs profiled in a recent Times piece. Can anyone help me connect with her?
