Sometimes I look up from my work and see someone staring out the window at a passing ship, or a sailboat, or icebergs that pass by in the winter thaw on the Hudson River.

But it's the summer afternoons when the cruise ship passes and we take a moment to daydream about the pool atop that ship and the spiral sliding board we can see so plainly from our air-conditioned office in Jersey City.

And then there are times when simply looking out the window
turns out to be worth the price of admission
... for the moment, anyway.
