"For Lori, Paul, and PAD"
(sorry Dennis...I'll get you next time! when you read the story, you'll understand, although you are still included in the dedication under the PAD label!!! :)

Today was one of those insanely busy days where I had to be in three places at once, in meetings and seminars, yet also on email (and I didn't bring my netbook in with me, so I was constantly running back to my office!). As I was walking from one meeting to the next, I walked past this place that I walk past several times a week, and I noticed the trees. They made me think of Lori, and her photo from yesterday (I think), and her comments about how she loves trees. Then I saw the tracks in the mud, and I thought of Paul, and his comment about how he liked the tracks in the mud in my picture from Saturday. So then of course I thought of PAD, and how it is so cool that I am connected to these three other people in various parts of the world, and how awesome it was that because of PAD, when I noticed the trees and the tracks, I stopped and paused for one moment out of my day to think about these people, and it was just, well...a lovely moment. So, I snapped a few shots, none of them really all that good, and then I took this last one on my way back from the meeting....for all of you :-)
