I sure should start keeping a list - but somehow I never get that
organised. Are you trying to imply I never welcomed you properly,
welljust in case you're right:

*WELCOME HUGS*

Today I look out the window.  It's just past 5:30 pm and the sky is a
uniform white.  It's been raining all day long.  It's cloudy and
muggy, but inside it is cozy; a tad warm perhaps, but cozy.  (I feel
an RFA submission coming on.)

The hills are green and beautiful, however, but the cold is a reminder
of the coming beauty and colorful diversity of fall.  I can't wait!

A window. Mmmmmm, I'm sure I saw one of those around here
somwhere. That's one of those holes in the wall you can
see through, right?
Aha! If I just half standup, lean slightly to the right,
lift my left leg just a bit, look over the rims of my
glasses, focus intensely through the tape rack and 
around a pillar..YES..there's one! 

I see sunlight. And wait, there's a person. He's wear-
ing glasses, leaning slightly to the left, half standing
up and lifting his right leg just a bit. Oh, it looks
like he fell down at the same time as me!

Hey, you know it!!  Although, I really have to be more careful about

(I'm only on this system till Monday, then it's business as usual...)

As I look around my small area, I see a plotter sitting on one bookshelf
on the desk, several books on DEC Pathworks, Oracle books, a hand-carved
Puzzle Box from Turkey (courtesy of my sister *smile*), a yoyo (to simulate
the AT&T 3b2 boxes the govt bought), 3 in baskets, no out basket (tells you how
I work *grin*), assorted comic strips, a trophy from an autocross last year
(1st place!), two calendars (one govt issue, one from Mazda Motorsports), 
a picture of me running my car in an autocross, a picture of Locutis of Borg,
a Walkman plugged into the power strip, lots of papers, cassette tapes, a
can of diet Coke, an upside down clock (makes people ask questions *grin*),
and a menu for the deli on the base.  On the wall, I have a copy of the
poem "Desiderata" with several sections highlighted.  Behind me, I have my
computer, and further behind me are two of my co-workers and friends and
their desks.  We sit in a trapezoid shaped area with 7 foot ceilings.
As I look out the window over the boss's desk, I see grass, blue sky, white
clouds, some haze, and the parking lot.  Only I can't see the parking lot
very well, because the window is at ground level while the office is in
the basement of the building.  
As I look out a window at home, I see a busy street, a very large grassy
field, and the local high school and an apartment complex in the distance.

If I look further, I can imagine I see all the special people in my life
going about their business (especially a certain very special person in
Rochester Minnesota *smile*).  

Have a great weekend!
