I am trying to formulate a theme for this installment of Fresh and Easy . Then there is a popping noise and my office light goes out. All through the house computers are beeping like it is midnight in a digital Geppetto's shop. Turning off the computer, printer, fax, monitor, speakers allows me to at least sit in silence within my office. Well, at least I'm not sitting in the dark.
Sunlight softly enters from the big corner windows.
Hmmmmm, I know I have a pen around here somewhere. I remember having to copy a number from the answering machine just the other day, but there is no pen near the telephone now. I think I remember writing myself a note on a Post It in the kitchen to buy batteries for my wireless daytimer. A pen sits there on the counter under a small pile of scrap papers. I can sit by the window and write my feature longhand.
