Just me and some light ski mountain traffic, i.e. a car every 30 minutes. I loaded the car with luggage, took out the trash, hauled Eli’s varsity litter box back into storage, kicked ice off the tires, and stood around.
And I drifted.
I thought about things that had nothing to do with anything—sucker fish, forts, varicose veins, and Otis Redding lyrics—then I thought about things like frostbite and car crashes… salt stains and heart attacks. I thought for one moment that I wasn’t under the gun—there wasn’t a schedule. The car was packed, but there wasn’t really anywhere to go.
This isn’t even real snowfall. This is a little waggling finger wave from winter, like she’s trying to be sexy. She’s plum crazy.
I went back indoors and stomped the baking soda dusting off my shoes; Eli greeted me at the door with an arched back and desperation in his voice. I heard what sounded like elephants running to stomp out an ember.
“Good thing I decided to come up here… you forgot a suitcase.”
So we’re not quite ready for a changing of the guards. But, in my negligence, I’m happy for those moments I scored.
WTF all I want is snow! We just got sideways rain today. Can’t wait for pics of your vacation.

i live in chicago where winters aren’t nearly as pretty but much more bitter…stupid lake.
at least it’s gorgeous and hilly in upstate NY! chicago winter = flat, wind tunnels askew, bitter cold (summer is awesome, though, so come visit!)

Oh believe me… I know! I used to live there. At Eugenie Terrace on Clark, to be exact! While I don’t miss those streets you come across that are total wind tunnels, I do miss everything else about it. We talk about moving there a lot, I know Rob would love it…
