Irrational worries.

2007-07-09

Good morning Boys and Girls.

As a new week begins, I'm struck dumb by the fact that the summer is more than half over. I don't like it. A little wisp of panic hits me as I realize that the snows of winter aren't that far away.

This is new to me. It's only started the last year or two and seems to come a little earlier each year. Part of me, the rational, pragmatic side, realizes this is nuts. It makes me feel selfish and small... and old.

Yesterday afternoon I played golf with a friend on a great public course about an hour south of here. It was over ninety degrees, though a nice breeze kept it fairly comfortable throughout the round, which, since we hadn't teed off till around four, didn't end till eight-ish. At least a half-dozen times as I played, the thought struck me that this same beautiful course, in a hundred and twenty days or so, would likely be covered in white stuff.

"Well, duh," you might say. And you'd be right. That's the way it works! Eight months of tolerable weather and four months of cold. Not a bad deal, really, and far from a serious problem for anyone but a self-centered goof-ball.

Why, then, am I feeling this way?

Makes me angry with myself.


Be good to everyone.

Ahhhh but we got 4 seasons!!! now California only has 2!!Hot and cooler! Take up skiing and you won't be able to wait till winter! or maybe sled boarding or whatever they call it!! I don't like Hot or Cold, but like it in the mid 70's to be comfortable...I should live in Hawaii!!!

I guess I'm a self-centered goof ball too then! I start dreading winter ASAP! I ask myself...why do I live in the Midwest if I hate winter so much? Oh yeah, this is where my house is. Not a very good answer but, it's the only one I've got. If it's not at least 80 degrees, it's not worth going outside. Summer Rocks!
