when the sun is shining and the air is sweet with spring warmth, i just want to do everything in the world except focus on work. i can trudge through a day, even if trudging means providing constructive feedback to my staff, or interviewing new candidates, or fighting for my team in a requirements meeting, or trying to sound serious on a conference call. i put care into my work, sure. but do i really want to be here? no.

if i could do anything right now, i would:
- babysit for my dear friend who is going through grief
- run through the park with my son
- frolic in the park with my son and my parents
- host a barbecue
- grill leeks
- get my haircut
- go for a run
- go get my foot checked
- buy gifts for everyone i know
