It's snowing this afternoon. Snow doesn't happen very often in Kentucky, at least the part that I live in, but it was snowing this afternoon. Thick white flakes came down I was typing my last post; it has settled down now to a small, steady snow which in Boston would definitely be staying. It's so warm down here that snow doesn't last, and indeed there has been precisely no accumulation of it this afternoon. The problem is when we get snow or rain and then a cold blast of Canada air that turns the melting snow into glare ice. Very dangerous.
I will have to get away from this machine to get some exercise, but today I think it's going to be on the Total Gym. It's in the depth of winter down here that I wish we had a seacoast to look at. Call me crazy, but I think the wild look of a winter sea is a splendid thing. Oh well, I can do rowing exercises, and dream of the ocean around Hispaniola, with the warm turquoise sea blending imperceptibly into the sky at the horizon. Yes, that's how I will spend the afternoon, in a cosmic bowl of blue memories, with the promise of rum and lime juice at the end of the day, when the land-bound sailor comes home from his imaginary sea.
