True to the geese's instincts, the temperature was 60 degrees F when I left the house this morning. The giant "M" of the U of M stadium stands out against a blue sky out the window of my office (only mine for a couple more weeks). I opened the window to try to mitigate the air-conditioning, and I can hear distant drums, which I assume is the university marching band practicing, because that seems appropriate to the vista. Football season is soon upon us--not something I was conscious of in New York, but I remember from growing up here how football Saturdays change the feel of Ann Arbor.
Because my residence in this office was only temporary to begin with, I was not able to rearrange the furniture, so my desk is positioned facing away from the window. I am sentenced to turn my back on the sky and the trees. J is building us a home office/studio/workshop, however, and there I will have windows all around. I will not miss too much the gold "M" that I can only see by twisting my head.
