am sitting in this arm chair looking out the window at a winter scene in the waning light. I have been transported back to a time and place far from here. I can hear my mother downstairs doing what my mother did while raising five children in her house in Glasgow, Scotland. The cold, melting snow and leafless trees, it could be Christmas of my childhood. I don't know if this is a special place or if this is a special time but the aura is wonderful. The past can never return but anything that conjures a memory is magical. I need to remember that this is a business trip but feel that I am cheating my company with an expense report. Enjoy your stay, for today is the past of your tomorrow."
