SLICE OF LIFE

Thursday afternoon.
Snow and twenty degrees in Denver. 
I do lunch duty, tie up a few odds and ends,
then head to the airport.
The ocean is waiting.

Two hour delay.
It is dark when we arrive in San Diego.
Friday morning I wake early. 
Watch for the first traces of light. 
The ocean is waiting.

My travel companions are still sleeping.
I slip out a back door.
Climb the stairs to a bern.
And see
 the ocean.

Oh, my! We are weighed down by ice and now...but I am imagining you in sunshine, walking the beach and listening to the ocean. Enjoy!!

I loved San Diego...and this scene of the landmark hotel. I forgot its name. Have a fantastic time. xo

My school is part of a project called SAMS, under the umbrella of the National School Improvement Project. They have a terrific conference every January- it was a quick trip, we were in SD from late Thursday night until early morning on Sunday. It was chilly, but oh so great to be by the ocean.
