Mini vacation

Lunchtime, weather permitting, I sit outside on the pier.  My office is on the Jersey City waterfront, and the pier is on the Hudson River, right where the river meets New York Harbor.  You can see all the boats on the water, and you can hear the waves hitting the bulkhead.  The sun is warm, there are pigeons and seagulls.  Sometimes there are musical performances on the pier.

It feels like a one-hour vacation.
