Life and Stuff

The sun is shining brightly outside my office window today, and we recently had a fluke warm front that melted a significant amount of our snow.  It’s one of those days when I’m reminded of the joys of living here, among intelligent, hard-working people with respect for each others’ individuality.  Later this week, however, temperatures are again forecast to plunge into the teens, and yet another snowstorm will arrive.  It will be more difficult then to recall why I’ve not relocated to a warmer, easier climate.  Yet I know one of my neighbors will snow-blow my driveway while I’m at work, and another might ask that I join his family gathering around their fireplace, and my love for the New England winter will promptly return.
