August 21, 2008
For 32 years I've lived in the same large, light-filled, Midtown Palo Alto home facing Westward, a space furnished with a few midcentury pieces, some original artwork and some antique furniture. If you look carefully, you might see me standing at the front window next to the cat climber containing a cat or 2. I like to keep an eye on the world, checking traffic, mailmen, various cats and dogs (some with owners, some not).
From this window to the world I can observe dramas as small as hummingbirds feeding to larger, but surprisingly intimate games children play, parents dashing to meet school children, and roses reaching for the sky.
The phone rings: back to reality...
