Once upon a time

Two great things.  I was dropping off a delivery today at an architectural firm; they always have the nicest offices (true!).  In the elevator lobby were the results of maybe a competition or just an art project jam... a series of structures, all made with business cards.  There was a tall slender building that gracefully twisted 90 degrees as it rose.  A bulky, imposing cube.  A strange, spiky tower.  A delicately cut lattice of maple leaves.  I wish I could have stayed longer to look at them; the elevator came and I was off to my next delivery.
Later in the day I saw a rainbow.

I remember...

I remember watching Where the Wild Things Are.  I drove to the theater before I picked you up and bought tickets so that we could just walk through the door all cool.  I remember coffee for three hours after.  You said you didn't want to string me along.  I said that where I went, I went because it was my choice.  I remember walking to Victor's Coffee and walking back.  I remember giving you magical strawberries, and rereading your blog posts to see if I was there anywhere between the lines.  I remember when you said you weren't ready for a date, and I remember three days later when you said yes.  I remember a Christmas morning text from you.  I remember finding a piece of ribbon beneath your keyboard and staring at it dumbfounded for a while.
