The Cold
I realize that everyone is made up differently. Some people can eat ketchup (or catsup) straight from the bottle while some, although not many, don't eat it at all. I don't do condiments outside of a little salt and pepper or some cayenne. I leave the mustard and mayo for everyone else. So I understand that some people may not like the cold. Which is great for me as I like the cold, and everyone who doesn't, albeit not consciously, leaves it for me to enjoy.
I had an amazing walk this morning through the quiet snow dusted streets of Clintonville that led to Walhalla. As a walked the length of the ravine, I saw fresh tracks of rabbits, dogs, and other wildlife. My iPod blocked what little vehicle traffic you can hear from the surrounding streets and I didn't see another person or vehicle the whole time. Such a relaxing way to start the morning. So today is a good day and I want to thank those that don't like the cold for staying under the blankets with a good book and letting me escape in the middle of the city this morning! All that and for the rest of the day I get the satisfaction of helping those that enjoy the cold to enjoy it more comfortably AND for those that don't like it to stay as warm as possible! Until I leave tonight at 9 or so after our cooking clinic and get to go out and wind down with another walk home. Hopefully, I'll get to do it all over again tomorrow.
