in the sun


if you were to sit there
 in the sun
you'd be comfortable
but
it was
not
 a day for less than a 
winter coat
scarf
gloves

 the air was 
crisp
 cold
 sun was shining
 not so much
 that ears didnt feel the cold after a while

  i did my weekly beautification rituals 
plus
 a quick trip to the flea market
 a stop into tumi 
a shop
 that sells
 travel 'stuff'

 i needed a tote bag
 i have very exacting needs
 the bag must
 close
 be it zipper, snap or magnet
 but
 it must close
 it needs
 at least 
1 interior zippered pocket
 several slots or pouches
 a key hook would be nice
 but
 its not a deal breaker
 the 'drop' 
from the strap to the top of the tote
needs to be long enough
 to accommodate a heavy winter coat 
outside pouches or pockets
 are also nice but not strictly necessary
 oh
black or red are the best colors
 in my opinion

 i found the perfect bag
 it fulfills all my requisites
 and
 it wasnt a huge amount of money
  they also had a wallet 
that i think is perfect
 but
 i needed to think about it

  i am 99% sure
 i am going to be traveling
 somewhere special
 fairly soon
 i dont want to jinx it
 so i am not sharing details
 til 
its 
for 
sure

no
 you cant guess where
stop
no hints
you'll find out soon enough
