Happy (belated) New Year
So, it's 2008, and I am apparently still one who procrastinates. Capt Mike and I had a nice little Southern vacation over the Christmas holidays, complete with photo documentation, but I have yet to upload any to the Web.
It just doesn't feel much like a New Year. It kind of feels like mid-spring. Yesterday I walked the dogs in a short-sleeved t-shirt. Today, it's raining, but the temperature is still in the mid-teens. After 29 years, it's difficult to associate the changing of the calendar with anything other than cold weather and snow (or at least frost).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not missing wind chill factors or digging ice and salt wads out of Dexter's paws, but a slight dusting of snow wouldn't go amiss. Just one day to curl up with a cup of Tim Horton's, watching the snowflakes fly past the window. It doesn't need to be a blizzard, and it doesn't need to last for more than a day. It just needs to remind me that it's winter out there.

If you can get the politicians to leave the region, there'll be less hot air there and you just might get the colder temperatures you need to sustain snow :-)
