The end of January

 Cold snap, eh? Worst time for the fire alarm to go off at work. Horrible time for the kids until the fire truck arrived to save the afternoon. Meanwhile, the smoke alarms at the complex have been checked. All is well... sorta. On the literary front, I've been getting into Rilke. Good, introspective stuff. Now I've moved on to summat absurdist.

  Been thinking about a dude I went to school with. He died when I was in 11th grade. Every now and then, I think about the dude and wonder what he might have done had the Crab not moved in. Now I'm 45 and he would have been 47 had Grimmie not had other plans. He was a fantastic artist. Would he have continued down that creative path? Maybe settled down and started a family.

  Or maybe he would have joined the group Springsteen sang of in 'Glory Days'. What might have been, amirite? Anyway, I hope my viewers are doing well and keeping warm.

BYE.

Climate change, amirite?

 The temperature's been up and down all this month. Blowing snow started this afternoon. All that snow will cover the intensely slippery stuff beneath. I caught up on my reading recently. Helps to read lighter fare. I updated my Goodreads today. I update it often.

 Anyway, I'm reading a murder mystery right now. Read some Rilke just before that. I'd heard of Rilke before but I don't recall reading any of his works. Ergh, it looks pretty messy outside. At least I plugged my vehicle in when I got home. It's supposed to go down to 20ish tonight. Ergh. At least the kids have been going out for recess.

 Nobody needs that kind of pent-up situation. That's really all I have to say. Hope my several viewers are doing well thus far. You guys are great. Here comes the weekend.

BYE.
