the beginning is near... it is raining on the morning of my last day at work. And I watched some commercials, then watched two (wait, three) short movies by ray and charles eames and now ate three lebkuchen, still from that giant metal box I received as a present last year. (And I am not feeling too well after the meal.) Watered the flowers, including the surprise pepper plant with its three inch green pepper and several tiny candidates. okay... last day of work... i do not think i would like to be late. ; )
