Exterior of the Office of the Day

So here's my confession: Sometimes I take long breaks because I don't have much time to take photos. And sometimes I have a whole queue of photos just waiting to be posted. The problem is that I'm a writer. And writers like to write things. It's a compulsive thing. I'm also a big nerdy academic, and I want to go all big nerdy academic on here, without actually having time to write.

My new summer schedule should allow me more time for both. Hurrah!! But no promises... Until then, here's a picture of the outside of my frequent Office of the Day, with a tiny bit of big nerdy thrown in for good measure. Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural ball was held in this building.

Outside Office of the Day!

As I mentioned before, I often take my work out of the house, find a nice place to sit for a few hours, and let the city be my office. For a while now, I've annoyed my Facebook friends by, not only filling up their feeds with my photos, but with my frequent "Office of the Day" shots. For months, these pics have been from toasty cafes where I'm clutching steaming cups of coffee and trying to stay warm. But yesterday, ah yesterday, I had my first Outside Office of the Day since probably last June. And it was glorious.
