I don't know where I've been, why today was the first time in a very long time that I wrote anything here. I guess, among other things, I've been focusing on the seasons. Yep, plural. In the past few weeks, I've achieved states of summer, fall, and winter.
Summer - surf lessons and spontaneous movie going. I've actually surfed for a second or two, a few times! Standing up, riding the wave, balanced! Such the rush. I understand why people get addicted.
Fall - appreciating our fall wreath every morning, regardless of the weather, and embracing the crispness on a few evenings last week. We had a "winter storm," which resulted in temps in the low 70s (60s at night) and nice winds, and allowed me to wear long sleeves.
Winter - I haven't seen the sun in three days. It's rainy and grey, in a muggy kind of way. But there's something nice about it, because it's different, and allowed me to stay inside without guilt.
i know this is a stretch shok, but any chance of moving back to Chi town? we've had a great fall in Chicago this year. there was a whole month of beautiful leaves and just-jacket weather. AND this year the trick-or-treaters didn't have to wear down coats over their costumes!!!
As for your new hobby, North Beach is planning to set up a wave machine to encourage surfers this spring (this is a straight up lie, but wouldn't that be nice????).
