ok, so i have to get dressed and get to work, but there is always time to blog, even if briefly..........this morning was perfect for sitting on the deck with coffee and the newspaper.......quite pleasant........especially bucolic with the mamma duck and her 8 ducklings taking an early morning cruise around the neighborhood........(that mamma is presumably mean, as well).........it is moments such as those that sustain me during the craziness that is my working life.......just 2 working days left before i fly to denver.........cannot imagine how i will get out of the bed monday morning to make a 6:00 am plane flight.....
