dreaming
He sleeps and makes little oohhs and ahhs.
Then suddenly, a laugh or a pout.
And he returns to his dreamland.

presentatation goes a long way
I was on the east coast for a conference for several days and then came back to the west coast to attend another conference. I am a bit conferenced out. Instead of spending lunch time with the same folks I have been seeing, I hung out at the bar for lunch to catch up on my emails and twitter activities.
Here is an interesting take on a caesar salad served as part of a bento box - styled lunch. The cucumber wrapping was perfect for a warm afternoon.

my japanese maple tree
Yesterday and today were just beautiful! The sun was shining and the kitties were playing in the yard. I had the opportunity to clean the yard up a bit. The rain brought buds and blooms in the garden.
The leaves on the Japanese tree were opening up. The tree is now six years old. I know I should plant the tree in the ground but I can't give it up yet.
Baby is growing rapidly. Soon, the little one will be running around on the newly mowed grass.

back in the midwest
View of the river from my hotel room...
I was excited to be traveling again. But it will be awhile before I will be able to fly and see Chicago again.
This city amazes me because it is so easy to navigate. My meetings seem to be within four or five blocks of each other.
The St. Patrick's Day parade passed by my front window but I seemed to have missed it. I was glued to CNN watching the images of the Japan disaster unfold. I sigh and realize that the next few weeks at work will be busy.
Baby will not be happy with the upcoming stress.

My little 7 pound kitty tries to keep warm on a raining day.....
She's bigger than my laptop!
The pleasures of working from home.
