Sunday morning with Granny B

Sunday. We lazed around the house in the morning before heading to Thompson & Knight to check out Timothy's office. Mom, Alex, and I hadn't been there yet, so this was the perfect opportunity for the three of us to get the grand tour.

The firm recently moved into a brand new building, as in, they just built the place and moved in a couple months ago. Thompson & Knight leases four-and-a-half floors in the building - Timothy's office is on the 14th. Other tenants of the building include the corporate headquarters for 7-11, a few swanky restaurants, and some condos on the top few floors available to TK employees at the discount rate of $450/sq. foot.

Turns out, Alex was not very impressed with his daddy's office.

Except for one thing - the decorative baseball that was conveniently located atop an Alex-sized file cabinet.

He blew on it (for good luck, I assume):

Practiced his pitching grips, stances, and signals:

Practiced calling the ball by name:

Banged it against the window:

And got in trouble for banging it against the window:

At that point, he really just wanted to leave so he could have some lunch and take a nap.

And that's exactly what we did. We left, had lunch at Jake's Burgers, and went home to nap.

The whole building, Tim's office included, looks like something out of a movie...is Tim just acting like a high-powered attorney on the set of a new action flick?
