Phoenix

I wake up, get dressed, look at a few emails (that gmail didn’t deliver last night btw…) and walk outside to hop in my car and get my butt to work. It’s going to be 13 degrees C today – AWESOME~! So I get out my front door and there’s a coyote about 10 feet away just looking at me. I pause.

Coyote turns and walks up the street. It was such a trip to see such an animal – a wild dog, just chilling in my front yard. He starts walking up the street around VW Jettas, my neighbour’s minivan, right in the middle of the asphalt road…just chillin’.
The office smells like dry wall and plaster, I sneeze, I cough. Boy I can’t wait til they start painting while we’re all here tomorrow….
That’s Thursday morning thus far….a morning with no hockey, wild animal encounters and men in overalls on ladders above my desk.
