If you look closely enough, even my back yard can look tropical. Actually, with it hitting 86 degrees yesterday, it WAS pretty tropical around here. With Sean out of town on a job, it's feeling a bit like a vacation for me. It's the kind of vacation only weird artsy types and overworked mothers seem to like. Nobody talks to me. I barely go anywhere. I avoid the phone as much as possible. I work a lot on the things I want to work on and little else.
