captivate

the color you have going...
how does it reach out
to captivate

. . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure commentary is 'red state.' The Oxford lads inform us that its current usage only dates to a Matt Lauer reference to a color-coded map on the Today show during the 2000 election; in previous elections the use of red and blue had been switched. This helps me feel less idiotic when I am momentarily discombobulated about which is which.

Larger image on Flickr, where I note how strangely comforting I find it, as if this window seat were at grandmother's house.

Looks like it would be a good place for tea. And of course the bright light is very welcome at this time of year.
