shivering through the gale
Published March 21, 2008 | 
Do you simply reflect changes in the patterns of the sky?
Or is it true to say the weather heeds the twinkle in your eye?
Do you fight the rush of winter; and hold snowflakes at bay?
Do you lift the dawn sun from the fields and help him on his way?
Good morning Weathercock. Make this day bright.
Put us in touch with your fair winds.
Sing to us softly. Hum evening’s song.
Point the way to better days we can share with you

Yeah well, it’s snowing like hell outside my office window this morning and I’m pretty damn sick of it! Sometimes you get pretty desperate to find ways to stay hopeful that spring will come in the end. (No matter how much snow piles up outside the window). So if for no other reason than to boost my own positive outlook I went searching my photos for pictures from around this time over the last couple years. Much to my personal joy, history suggests that the snow and ice are not long for this world. The ice will be coming off the lake in the next couple weeks. History says so. Have a look!

March 30, 2005. A day in the 50′s raised some fog
On April 5th 2004 the ice was almost gone.

Oh I like them photos, I do! We’ll take a week or two longer around here to get there, but I can taste it, well sorta… LOL
Hey, in the meantime, if you’ve got any more pool sessions, I had an idea for a new game for 2. Thought of it as I was riding around on the back deck of a Feathercraft at the last Greenwich pool session – couldn’t do it ’cause it was a Feathercraft but it hit me that it would be pretty funny to stand up on the back deck not of your OWN boat, but on a patient friend’s back deck, and then your patient friend paddles you around like that.
Or have you already done that & it was too boring??
PS – Look! Spring!
I was trying that once in a class with Nigel Foster a couple years ago. Kristen stood up on the back while I paddled. I don’t think we got very far!!
I bet your balance is better now.
Plus just think how much the lifeguards would like it!
;D
Yeah, that’s probably true. They used to watch what I was doing, but they’ve grown used to my silliness!
