my little slice

i have a very small window in my office. just enough to let me know whats going on outside without providing distraction. (thats what the internet is for) at least most days. i've seen some interesting things thru that window... snow flakes falling from a lone cloud in an otherwise blue sky, torrential rains like ones that might wash away civilization, deer grazing on the grass - surprisingly not as cute and bambi like as i thought they would be up close, mexican landscapers picking and scratching various umm areas, folks sneaking out of work early.

today all i see is gorgeous. its truly the perfect day. full on sun, light breezes. a day that you just want to be outside, need to be outside. an afternoon that should be spent on a deck with a beverage and a few friends, just taking in the moment.

a day like today, espeicially being that its a friday, reminds me of my very first real job out of college back in richmond. every friday from april till it got too cold we had happy hour out on our deck. right around 3 everyone (except a few crazies who insisted on working.. WTF?) would convene outside and consume whatever beverage the CEO felt like buying that day. sometimes corona's, sometimes bourbon. and we would sit. and we would drink. and all was good. it may not have been the best job, but for a few hours a week it was THE place to be. and in my poor post college years a free buzz was priceless! ha.

i'm really looking forward to a long bike ride tomorrow in this weather. it will be fantastic. because before you know it the humidity will be 4000% and temps will top out at 102 and carolina will be one big sizzle.
