I'm not sure what the weather is where you are today, but here it's still cold, not even spring yet. We do see the sun and there is the buzz of spring. The reality however is much different. It's cold still.

I love Springtime, as most people who live in a cold climate do. I lived in Hawaii for five years so know the other side (no winter I mean), it's the best way to live. No shoveling of snow, no dealing with icy roads, or having to put on a gillion layers in order to go outside for just a little while.

In the place where below 60 degrees do not touch, it is amazing. You can always just be, your not stuck inside ever. You can walk around with shorts always. I miss the days of rain in Hawaii, when you could go out to the mountains and walk along the trails that were covered in warm rain water and climb up to see the beautiful waterfalls bursting with new life.

Or if you wanted to go anywhere, you just go, no snow covered passes to obstruct your driving. I am tired of the 'four season' world. I guess I'm too plain to enjoy it. When I see the leaves changing color. I don't think about it as beautiful, all I see is death, and the return of dormancy. The leaves are dying thats why they change color, its a fading away process. The dormancy is what will last. Not being able to do anything for thre to five months.

I know all of you guys that think winter is great. It's refreshing, you get to snowboard, or sled, or make snowmen, or see the pristine snow clinging to the trees after a winter snowfall making it a white winter wonderland. Yadda, yadda, yadda, I have heard it all before. The problem with all those things is, your kidding yourself. Your just trying to make yourself feel comfortable because as is the bear in his cave, YOUR STUCK, as is most of us who can't live in the tropics. We are STUCK.


Here is the problem the nice diversions of winter can all be done, you just have to take a weeks vacation (or holiday for all the non-Americans), go to a mountain in the winter, ski your heart out, for those who want to ski for three months ever try surfing (there is no end), all of your winter activities will be covered by the end of the week.

Maybe I'm just tired of the Winter and next year will look forward to the Winter things.
