Winter Words
The temperature has fallen rapidly to a face-numbing -16, and getting up in the mornings and facing the cold is becoming more and more of a challenge. It is tempting to just stay indoors and drink warm drinks while watching people outside struggling with keeping warm, but there is certain appeal to the extreme cold. I spent most of today holed up in my office, thankful to be sitting at a computer typing endless streams of addresses into a database.
Just as I was leaving to go home, it started snowing again. The scaffolding around the office building became covered with a beautifying dusting of snow, like a veil on an unattractive bride. Suddenly the cold didn’t matter, and my face became covered in what can only be described as a ridiculous grin. I was on the verge of twirling around with my hands held high, when I remembered I was still firmly in the public eye, and decided I was going to save my snow twirlings for a moment when I am with friends and can share the joy.
