i couldn't get my two year old to nap in her bed this afternoon, so i put her in the stroller and took her on a chilly safari downtown. she fell asleep about thirty seconds into the walk, so i got the gift of an hour to look up and all around at little things that i normally miss because i'm either looking down or trying to keep my children from running into the street. i also ran into a sweet friend of mine and we just burst out laughing when we saw each other, because this is the third time we've seen each other this week, unexpectedly, in completely different places. i guess we must like the same spots around town, huh? fun little incidents like that always brighten my day.

You've got a gifted eye, a strong sense of graphic design, and a very cool city to live in. The perfect storm! I want to visit, too. I especially liked the shadow cast by the...thing that tells you where you are...oh, the address 2e.7th. :D
