Long Dark Teatime



Having lived away from true winter (at least true cold) for a decade, I really notice my mood going into winter. This is only my second since moving back to the Midwest. Last year felt novel, interesting. This year feels real. And feels quiet, slow. Sleepy. Time to hunker down.

Great post, Dert. Thanks for lifting us out of politics and into something more...seasonal. Before long I'll have to move up to Minnesota just to experience the winters of the Missouri of my youth.

Going to Vegas on Friday. I'll send you a check so you can start your own gardening/landscaping business when I win.

Figured maybe other fellas were feeling the same (even if KC is Tampa compared to MSP). Vegas sounds like a great way to postpone the inevitable. I want to see more pictures of you dancing with women, but these next ones should feature you onstage...

Sparky got one of me with a special lady on Freemont, soon to be published on the Canteen.
