Winter is over
Winter is now over and I couldn't be happier. Yes, we enjoyed the snow and the scenery. Yes, the farm looked amazing and before I forget, a big shout out to the town of Freemont and the brave men who drove the snow plows that kept Ruebman Road drivable most days.
As most of you readers know, my people came from the desert, so I am more of a summer lover at heart. Give me a hot, humid August afternoon any day of the week. I do not ski, snowmobile or indulge in ice fishing, so most winter days are spent thinking of summer days.
The children seemed somewhat indifferent to winter and did not talk about the weather like the grownups do. They both got upgraded to down blankets on their beds and have yet to get the flu this season, so I consider the whole affair a huge sucess.
Elizabeth spent 3 straight weeks without leaving the house in February. Divorce seemed imminent by day 15, but somehow we made it through and we both feel our relationship is stronger than ever. Adversity on the domestic level is always tricky, so I must give props to all the shrinks we have been to over the years that keep this love boat above water. For any of you kids out there going through a rough patch with your mate, just remember to share. Sharing leads to growth. Growth is good.
As for me, I go to New York City each week for a day or two. I drive to the town of Beacon(http://www.cityofbeacon.org/), which is on the historic Hudson river. There is a direct train to Grand Central Station that puts me 4 blocks from my office. Fantastic. I am starting to feel like a real New Yorker.
Driving back from the city was never that much fun but add zero visibility and only country radio stations and you can see why I am ready to move to Brooklyn or Jersey.
Well, spring is now here and I am feeling way optimistic. The wild turkeys have been crapping in the yard, the pond is no longer covered in ice and our beloved cat, Scout keeps killing mice who are just trying to survive the cold but are not wanted by our family at all.
Kinda warms your heart.
