Snowboots optional It’s Winter in Florida, odd as it seems, Not the snow covered landscape I see in my dreams. No, it’s sunny and bright and the beach is inviting, so here I am tanning and lounging and writing. But I do miss the north, where I’m from, in this season. I miss the first snow; that’s just one of the reasons. I miss getting cozy beside a lit fire, drinking cocoa or egg nog, a warming desire. I miss getting bundled up, layers galore. Is six scarves too many? Perhap

This is the first in an occasional, observational report. You know how, when you’re younger and you’re walking down the street behind older people, and you wonder, why are they moving so slowly???

Because IT HURTS! Mayb
