lunch funSchlessman
who says you can't have an adventure on your lunch break?
I simply can NOT stand going to the hangout/break room, grabbing my lunch and plopping back down at my desk to stare yet again into the oversize monitor. which by the way does not lend itself to being discrete enough to watch humorous you-tube videos or anything else as equally inappropriate in this office. and plus, I'm on a busy corner that gets a lot of foot traffic, yeah as opposed to bikes or scooters..just sad.
so usually, when the weather permits and it most often does in colorado, i venture into Lowry. formerly the lowry air force base but permanently closed in 1994 and just missing the awful developer's suburbia sprawl that leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. lowry has truly been well executed as an urban development neighborhood and i like it. the feel, the flow, the functionality, the uhhhh aged flora. okay that was a stretch. but there are many aspects of this denver tract that i admire. and i work here, so bonus.
one place i go often, say a couple times a week especially in the winter is the public library. this is just a small branch of the mondo size dowtown hub library and i believe is designed with the reader in mind. i usually drive there which i am a little ashamed of but yesterday walked for the first time. i guess i value the library time a little more than the stroll to get there and plus i can't be taking 2.5 hour lunches, unless i fall asleep in the park, then its more than okay [which has been accomplished many a time]. so the Schlessman library is always packed with all sorts of folk. the lowry up scale type, border line homeless, small cute children, elderly, business men and women on lunch breaks, nannies with 6 kiddos and i'm sure many more stereotypes if you observed enough. essentially all the combinations of people in such a small well flowing place is an attractive atmosphere. It makes sense that "in a complex social fabric, human relations are inevitably subtle. it is essential that each person feels free to make connections or not, to move or not, to talk or not, to change the situation or not, according to his judgenment."[pattern language:the flow through rooms]
even just an hour of my day spent diving into books on foreign countries, religion, wine and|or magazines on climbing, improving physique or revamping and making the most my hall linen closet makes me love life a little more. and as taking the place of a top favorite pastime of 'going to barnes and noble to read books and scan through magazines' you can now leave debt free with books [i think like 15] in hand. well, i have accumulated a few small late charges. eeeeeee.
