nonionayLast night, we got home at exactly the solstice.
There was a winter when I was a kid (I think it was 1990. I was 11.) that my dad told me about the wind chill, and the world had come to a standstill. It was so cold, I don't think they let me out to play. It was like being in a magic world where the normal, routine things of our world didn't exist anymore. I've been thinking about that winter a lot this winter.
Who needs adventures in exotic lands, full of danger and mystique? We've got... The Stretch of !-5 Between Arlington and Alger!!
I'm declaring a day off for myself. (cuz, hey, the day was already half-gone when I woke up at 12:15) No trudging into the office to clean for me! However, I'm torn between wanting to walk in the snow (and go to the grocery store) versus sitting in my pajamas in my beanbag chair.
