... I'm going to dust off a classic today about which I'll complain. And I don't mean a "classic" like I'm going to recycle one of my 1500 posts (I've been doing this *forever* it seems) but "classic" in the way that everyone complains about this all the time.
Yes -- it's the weather. Tomorrow will be over 70 but this morning is still all graupel-ly (yes -- I've learned a new weather word -- I couldn't be happier than when I found myself in a derecho or two a few years back). Mind you, I was prepared as I walked in to work (a rare day I was headed to an actual office instead of the one to which I head by just rolling out of bed), and I served up my best unabomber realness -- hoodie + sunglasses + unshaven-middle-age-grey-beard (thankfully for you, the shadow in this photo hides the new old color I'm sprouting on my chin(s)).
Let's face it -- I embrace mental illness. I've always been fond of the wounded, the "touched", the slightly off-kilter -- life's much more exciting that way! So if the weather's going to be schizophrenic instead of stable, who am I to care. Ultimately, a place that hardly ever changes is calling my name (delayed vacation to southern Florida is just over one hundred hours away).
So the fact that we've only had one day over 70 instead of 20 (as we did last year at this time), that's really just a mild annoyance. Bring on mid-80's and sunshine (my skin is already anticipating a good cracklin')!
