I really don’t mind that it’s warm today, in the dead of winter. I know, if you’re awesome enough to have been around Pragmatik for a few years, you know this has been an issue for me in the past. I was jealous of New York’s storm. Then just annoyed at the lack of winter weather.
I sure whine a lot. Yes. I know.
Obviously, it was largely an issue of not liking where I lived. But also, I don’t know, my hands are cracked from walking and cycling (with sweet cycling gloves, no less). I’d really like to walk around my apartment barefoot for a day or two. Going to walk to Hampden because Mrs. Pragmatik needs more yarn from the yarn shop. Don’t need my large coat or huge scarfage, and my feet will not be “I wear Chucks numb.” How Kneat. I sure know how to spin…a….y-, arn, huh?
I have a headache and need like three gallons of water and maybe, I guess, one of coffee.
So temperatures in the 50s are Okay today. It’s not the world asked me or really cares if the Magical Pragmatik Guy thinks it’s Okay. Nonetheless, ask me Monday if I feel the same way.
I should really get around to getting my novel into better shape. And the whole, you know, dissertation I wrote. Geez.
For Photo Friday: Misty.

Hey Johnny, I remember feeling the same way when I moved to Baltimore from Mass. The lack of foliage in the Fall and non-existance of the snow in winter was a very, very big bummer.
Just move back up here to Boston, already. You know you want to.

Hey, Jenna! You know, we think romantically about moving back to Boston sometimes. We have the Boston Moleskine City Book (still in the wrapper) to remember everything we liked. We were in town briefly in fall 2006 for F’s diss research, and we were amazed at how much changed. My favorite Chilis in the world (Harvard/Brattle) was gone! The double-F-ed Caffe’ Paradiso was still there, though, which more than made up for it:) Who knows? I do love riding Amtrak… :)

Hello
We have the same here in London England. Flowers are in bloom and all I want is some ice and snow….O well, could be worse.

Flowers are blooming already? Geez, I hope that doesn’t happen here again this year. Last year, some plants got confused and started blooming in January and then died, and some blossoms in the spring were a little disappointing. Then April was cold at the beginning and kind of slowed things down and did a number to the flowers.
Climate change is crazy. It’s gotten so I have to keep sweaters out in the summer and some sandals on hand in winter. :^)

Yeh, I’m in the same boat, missing the New York weather. Not to mention the week’s vacation we got in February. On the bright side, every year without fail there’s been at least one snow day during Presidents’ Day week since I moved down. So that’s something to look forward to.
