Mysterious Bagpiper at 5pm on Friday

I remember the first time I heard the bagpipes calling to me from afar. I guess I have always heard them calling me. It must be part of my Scottish background. Although others will argue it is Brazilian, Jewish or Latina. I guess I am just that a tsiganka, or gypsy in Bulgarian/Russian. Anyway, I never have actually seen the woman who plays them. A real gypsy who has an amazing background that I work with Leonard told me a woman from Ralph Nader's campaign office plays them each Friday. I love hearing them. There is something mystical and alluring about them. Plus they are damn hard to play. And it is fun to think that someone keeps bagpipes at their office. The man who watches the door at our building swings golf clubs during the day and practices his swing. I thank the kind spirits who helped me find this job full for playful energy.
