Windows fascinate me for a whole lot of reasons. Whether you're on the inside looking out or the outside looking in, they give you a chance to see something beyond the usual. When I was a child, I often sat beside them and let my mind wander. Three scenarios remain incredibly vivid memories, for some reason:

• My bedroom window overlooked the driveway, and I often sat on the floor and waited for my parents to come home.
• My hospital room window gave me a wide open view of the city, and I often wondered what it would be like to walk the streets on my own. It gave me extra incentive to get back on my feet.
  
• The windows in my grandparents' apartment were much darker, overlooking a forbidding-looking laneway without much of a view at all. Yet the light in their humble home always seemed to come from within.

Funny what you remember when you stare at a seemingly innocuous pane of glass.

Your turn: Please suggest a caption for this apparently simple window scene. Plain as it looks, it's a wall that has significance to me. A story for another day, perhaps. Need more background on how this Caption This thing works? Click here.

About last week's photo of an old television: This is one of the last photos I took before we headed home from vacation, and it's one of my favorites. I'm glad so many of you thought so, too! This week's honorable menschens are:

• Hilary: In the 1990's situation comedy character, Dr. Frasier Crane grabs television ratings.
• Terri: "I want my MTV!"
• Judy: "From trash thou comest and to trash thou shalt return!"
• Steve: "Now that's TV worth watching!"
• Morah Mommy: "There really is only trash on tv!"
• Snaggle Tooth: "You're not the brightest tube on the block- you're burnt out!"
• Sara: "All those years of playing video games with joysticks came in handy after all!"

Mel Fraase takes it with the delightfully threatening "Return the remote or the TV gets it!" She is a professional photographer and a darn good writer, too. Her perspectives on being a mom will have you returning for more. Please drop by her blog, Fraase Family, to congratulate her.
