Our work conference room overlooks Elliot Bay from our offices on the 17th floor. I usually sit on the window side, facing in. However, I took the opportunity to sit facing out yesterday during a long meeting.
While I was enjoying the gorgeous blue skies and lazy water, watching the occasional jet approaching the airport for a landing, the parasailers crazily drifting behinds boats, and the ferries running back and forth across the Sound, I looked out towards 2nd and University and there around the 20th floor of the building on that block, a lone red balloon on a string floated with gentle purpose towards the sky.
I always wondered where those escaped balloons went after letting loose of a tiny fist. They make it at least to the 30th floor, where I lost sight of it. Beyond that, I still wonder.
