Still waiting for Spring
I have been talking to the wall if you will for more than half a century. Going back to my first efforts in college radio and then trying other communications media I have taken the time to speak to people that I do not see. I have also tried reading and probably spend time just thinking. However I am puzzled. I fail to understand the need that many people have to create something known as a blog. I like the sound of my own voice but I do not feel forced to share it with others. I have grown used to this side of my own face sort of in the mirror. But I do not feel the need to put it out there for others to actually see my lips moving when I talk. However there are a lot of people who invest time and money and intellectual effort to speak to the rest of the world including those who need to read your lips when you’re talking. That is the only reason I can figure out for getting involved in the idea of a blog. I might change going forward although my doubts are high. I figure I have reached my zenith with what I am doing here. Letting the microphone translate what I say into a visual document. If someone else can let me know the why behind the need to blog I will add it to my list of things to learn. We had more snow last night a true sign that spring is on a delay. As are the schools right now. It makes it very hard to plan on any travel when we’re still waiting for the ground to thaw. I no longer have kept an account of how many months this winter has stretched on. Never severe. Never too cold to handle. I have avoided any opportunity to get frostbite or chillblaines. No reason to dream about heading off to a warmer place. In fact when I hear that someone has gone to a island in the Caribbean to get some respite from winter I wonder if they live in the same world that I do. I think that the stress I’m going from here to there would far exceed any pleasure that I would find in being on a beach near the ocean. Did I mention that I live just beside the beach near the ocean? Cold but that is purely a detail. A month from now this will all be forgotten.
