I’m sitting here waiting for Athena to strike. Here in NJ, we are already getting slushy stuff. Ugh!
I certainly hope the storm Athena proves not to be devastating like her catastrophic predecessor Sandy.
Where are you stationed now, NS Gill? If you don’t wish to answer, that’s OK. I notice that you spent some time in Minnesota. Did you find the winters challenging there?
I like winter! I think it’s my favorite season. My philosophy is that the weather is the weather. Some people seem to rue the weather and even grouse about it, but I have learned to take the weather for what it is. That’s true even for bitter, uncompromising weather.
I’d like to thank you for putting so much of yourself into this website. I’ve always been a voracious reader. I fashioned my house before building the foundation, though. As I approached 60, I began to delve into Greek and Roman classics, as well as studies of the Middle Ages. I enjoy reading your articles!
I quite like bracing cold. It’s summers I have real trouble with.
