Because it was Dr. Seuss’ birthday this week, Jodi, the
Kitchen Manager, made Green Eggs and Ham for the kids. The eggs were very green, thanks to a little
food coloring. The ham was regular, ham
color.
Because Jodi made too much, there were leftovers.
Because the leftovers were available, I had some, and the
ham was really yummy. I complimented
Jodi on the ham.
Because she was flattered, she offered me all the rest of
the leftover ham.
That got me thinking.
About a nice ham and cheese sandwich.
About how beautiful the weather is today. About the very long hours I have put in this
week: writing proposals; presentations; award nominations; and doing a load of
post-testing. About how much I want to pack
some ham sandwiches into a little backpack, got on the tandem with Chuck and
have a sunny, picnic-y day off tomorrow.
I went to see my boss.
She told me to take it and not even call it a vacation day. Just consider it a compensatory day for all
the extra hours I did this week.
Do you like green eggs and ham?! I do so like green eggs and ham! And I will like them on a bike, and I might
like them with a kite; I would like them at a park, and with a beer, and with
my guy. And I will take my sunscreen,
too…
