Been a long time

[Dave Seaman]

I step in and shake off the cold. No matter what the temp outside, I feel
cold and I need a warm place to sit and think. I spy a table in the corner
and plop myself down. Still not comfortable enough to take off my coat. From
my bag I pull out my laptop. I set it in front of me and turn it on. WP5.1
starts when the machine fires up. I stare blanky at it.

Wonder if my book is still on the shelf somewhere?

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
Got the muse in my head she's universal
Placebo

Diana looks up momentarily from her own laptop, in which she has had her
nose buried ever since taking a couple of days off last week to play.
Noticing the coat still worn by the person in the corner, she gets up and
walks over to the fireplace. "Just as I'd hoped!" she declares happily.
"Galileo has us well prepared." She squats in front of the waiting
firewood, strikes a match and holds it to the kindling, which chooses to
cooperate by blooming into flame on the first try.

"There," she says, getting up and turning toward the wearer of the coat.
"You'll be much more comfortable in a few minutes -- so will I. By the
way," she adds, smiling. "Ever thought of getting a Mac?"

"Hmph," Dave grumbled.
A Mac, he thought to himself. I don't even like Windows.
Warmth starting to thaw his coat.The laptop hybernates as Dave's eyes
start to get heavy. Won't be long and I'll be able to take this coat
off. Galileo aye? Wonder if I can get a strong espresso from him? Soon
as I warm up and get this coat off.
"Thanks Diana," Dave says softly...
