Sunset view from our office window 

I'm officially sick of the snow. I had a cute picture of my daughter walking through an icy park that I thought about posting above, but I kind of can't look at the white stuff anymore. So we're going with a sunset. And I'm going to pretend that it's setting over California, instead of frigid Manhattan.
