\"Skyway<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Move your eyes past the clutter of lace, rose petals, sea shells; past the near invisibility of glass plates, past the strangeness of orange sections on lunch-box lids, and a bottle of hot sauce, accompanied by, of all things, a Costco-sized bottle of honey; past the mess of laundry on the love seat. None of this is the point of the shot.<\/p>\n

Actually, this shot had no point, except to take a couple of quick clicks to work on some focusing issues. BUT. Look at the color of the sky, out of both windows.<\/p>\n

Maybe the best of lives are made up of such serendipity – a momentary glance through a viewfinder reclaims a perfect shade of periwinkle in the midst of the chaos of a life.<\/p>\n

Other things to think about this weekend:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Email apnea.<\/a> Oh, the sucking, black hole of the internet strikes again. Hat tip to the blog of Gwenda Bond<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  2. Is the ordinary too boring?<\/a>. This piece discusses the concept of “the unexotic underclass.” They might also be known as “the middle class” and — well, just read the piece. It’s a little longer, but well worth the effort of thought.<\/li>\n
  3. Never wanted to go to Australia? Too many things<\/a> eager to kill you<\/a> there (even solely via heart attack)? Australia says, “No, really, I’m HARMLESS!” with giant pink fluorescent slugs<\/a>. No, really. You’re welcome<\/i>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Hobbits wish you a blissful weekend, doing what we love best: finding a quiet corner, a hammock, and a book. Oh, and food. Second breakfast, if possible, and lashings of tea. \u263a<\/p>\n
