Friends,
Blue skies are great –we get more than our fair share in
Colorado-- but there’s something about clouds that sparks the imagination.
Clouds add depth and whimsy to the sky. They can be light and fluffy or dark
and foreboding. A lone cloud can remind us of a dragon –or a cow. Bring several
together and the sky can have more complexity and nuance than an Art Nouveau
scene. Clouds can span the grayscale or blend-in chromatic elements. You can
spend hours watching them change as your imagination wanders. No wonder they
are a part of so many idioms. If you have a dark cloud hanging over you,
remember, every cloud has a silver lining. So, whether you’re Canadian and
are on cloud 9 at your first NBA title (and, if Toronto is part of the league,
shouldn’t the NBA be the IBA -I for International?) or have a cloud of
suspicion hanging over NASA’ $20-30 Billion budget request to put a couple on
the moon (what’s the scientific purpose of the mission –procreation in space?),
get your head out of the clouds and bite into a donut. I hope I haven’t clouded
the issue.
Happy Friday!
