The Office

Friday morning Jakey asks me, “Mama, do you have hot air balloons at your work?”

“What?  No, I don’t think so.”

“Yes, yes you have hot air balloons.  Remember you saw them?”

And then I recall calling home very early in the morning, as I was taking a brisk stroll in Napa… on the hunt for gourmet coffee (of course I didn’t have to go far).  We were having a managers meeting and when I called home, I noticed three or four hot air balloons floating down the valley.  It was freakin’ idyllic.

“Mmmm.  Yes, you’re right.  I did have hot air balloons at my work.”

And then yesterday, from five stories up, I actually watched the space ship Endeavor make two circles past my office window, riding piggyback on another airplane.  There was even a fighter jet chaperone.

Huh…  where does Jake get these crazy notions about work?  Probably too much T.V. or something.
