Good morning

They were having a Fat Tuesday celebration on the beach last night and we took a lot of our beads from New Orleans (and for the record, I never said I *earned* the beads, I merely said that I did not buy them) and threw them out to the throngs of people who were acting very similarly to a flock of starving seagulls. We had them in a rubbermaid tub and were throwing them into the crowd when we were literally ambushed with people pushing and shoving and grabbing beads out of the box. They're just cheap plastic beads people!

I had to be into work early this a.m. to work on a project that is causing me a bit of consternation. And by a bit, I mean I am going insane. The sun is slowly starting to break over the horizon, the dark sky turning shades of grey and lavender. As the sun rises, the water looks like molten gold. It's absolutely breathtaking.

Well, back to work - but what a beautiful start.
