In a recent work meeting, doing introductions, we had to share our favorite place. I said mine was my new deck. That's where i'm writing this from right now.
Got quite the setup going on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Sitting under the shade trees and the shade umbrella, pecking away on a laptop with a wireless network card. Listening to random play-all on my Creative Zen mp3 player, running through my new portable speakers. Sipping on a beverage from the state of Texas. About 75 degrees.
Last few songs from artists like Rich Mullins (who died 10 years ago this week), Love Song, Foreigner, (the now defunct?) Nickel Creek, Barry Manilow. Frank Sinatra. There's Dolly singing an Eagles tune.
Julie's in the next chair, reading a Karen Kingsbury book. When i get done writing, i have two books to turn to. V.S. Naipaul's look at the American South, called A Turn in the South. Or, Game of Inches, volume 2.
It was for days like today that we built this deck, and why we don't think about moving away from Winston-Salem.
