Friday doldrums.....

I’ve been staring out the massive 7th story window for several minutes…my mind begins to wander. I imagine picking up my insufferable computer and hurling it through the glass. I watch as it meets the ground in an extremely satisfying explosion of parts. The morning breeze lifts my bangs gently as I step out onto the ledge…people are gathered below, eyes lifted skyward searching for the source of the debris in the parking lot! As they realize the pile of pieces was once a Dell…several point to me and begin to applaud, two of the older gentlemen snap to attention and salute. I smile, wave, and bow ever-so-slightly…holding onto the inside of the window frame with one hand.

Closing my eyes, I feel the warm spring breeze caress my face and a mixture of relief and euphoria wash over me. With my free hand, I remove my clothing, dropping it below. I watch as it drifts downward, settling gently on the pavement. Releasing my hold on the window, I step forward. The crowd is silent…shading their eyes from the sun as they crane their necks. Spreading my arms, I push off with the balls of my feet…a woman screams somewhere below me. The arms of the wind wrap around my body, lifting me slightly as I relax into its strength. Opening my eyes, I watch as the trees become smaller and the cars turn into toys. Turning my body slightly to the right, I circle around and head back toward the building. Birds chirp a friendly ‘hello’ to me as I soar past them. The crowd below watches in amazement as I swoop down within 6 feet of the ground and buzz through their midst. Smiling from ear to ear now…I decide to entertain them a bit more. Closing my eyes, I tuck my knees into my chest and turn summersaults across the sky. My body jars violently, and my eyes fly open…I have fallen out of my chair…thank heavens everyone else is at lunch.

Be Well!
