Misc.

Christmas makes me melancholy, because I miss my family.

Today I walked through Market Square, which is coolly decorated and has Christmas music piped in. It was lunchtime and not too many people were out, but it was nice enough that some folks sat down at the few tables still left. I went in to Starbucks and Charlie Brown music was playing, the instrumental version of "Christmas Time is Here." It's solemn and bluesy all at once and it really sent me off into a reverie of Christmases past.

I walked past the ice skaters at PPG Place ice rink and back on to the office, wishing I had time to just wander, look and listen.

The picture is the rink on Monday night, Dec. 13, 2011.
