"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. -- Winnie the Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner

 

 

This is one of my favorite feelings of the year. The last few minutes at work before Christmas. I'm getting ready to leave for the holiday break and I've got the same butterflies I used to get as a child before Christmas or summer vacations.

 

I am one of the last few remaining here at work. It's very quiet and the freeways outside are all empty.

 

I'm actually sitting here a few extra minutes because I like this feeling...
