Coffee Table Declarations
Tuesday, April 29, 2003
Right now there is a party going on in my midst. In actuality it is a reception for a particular project team here that handles one of our biggest accounts. I saw a cheese platter go by. I can hear voices and laughter down the hall. And I think they're even having beer and wine. That's o.k., I didn't really want to be invited. But that cheese platter just looked so appetizing.

On my walk today I saw a couple of notable things. I didn't plan to be strolling past the local middle school at the exact time that school gets out, but somehow, that's the kind of timing I have. I saw a kid with a mohawk of dramatic proportions, the likes of which I haven't seen since the late 80's. This thing was shellacked into green and purple spikes. I didn't know whether to applaud his expression of individuality or to wonder about the judgement of which ever parent or guardian approved of this hairdo. I mean not to sound like such an adult, but the kid's in middle school for goodness sake.
The other thing I found slightly amusing was a large full color map of Iraq plastered in a shop window. I didn't notice what kind of shop it was as I walked by. Hopefully not a travel agency.
