Summer Today, Winter Tomorrow, Spring The Day After
Sunday, January 15, 2006
All of this weather talk would normally be a great thing for me, especially nearly on the eve of a meeting with publishers to discuss writing a book on the topic. To the contrary. It is annoying as hell to get used to one temperature only for it to change to another the next day. Plus 13 today and minus 8 tomorrow. My wardrobe can not keep up. Spring jacket one day, sweater the next, tomorrow a parka. In celebration of our official "Summer in January in Canada" day, we had a bbq for dinner tonight and strawberries and watermelon. My son asked me if winter was over. Did we sleep through the snow part of it? He is confused. The whole country is confused. The nation is consumed (more than usual) with talk of the weather, and I am no better. We are about to elect our next Prime Minister and all the country can do is worry about the weather. The weather will come and go tomorrow. The moron we might elect we could be stuck with for awhile. I start to sweat when I even entertain the thought that we could end up with a Conservative government. I've told MR.C that we're moving to New Zealand if it happens. I'll certainly be writing more about this in the days ahead.
On another topic, I've been going iTunes crazy lately and have compiled an all-Canadian soundtrack for my blog, following on the heels of my good friends Chloe and Stephanie. If you would like one, let me know and I can see what I can do. Otherwise, I can list the playlist here if you want to check it out.
Have a great week!
