Spring is here, although winter is still occasionally poking
its chilly fingers into everyone’s business. I haven’t put away my winter coat
yet because I fear the worst – the springtime snow/hail storm.
I am totally, utterly, broke. These bank account statements
feel somewhat reminiscent of a more despondent age of alcohol-induced spending
and too many late night zataars. But not to fear! I do have a job, which I
love, although I worry that I am currently working (un)voluntarily. I am
considering collection agency interference if the balance in my bank account
does not change on Thursday.
But on to the most important part: Burro and I went CLIMBING!
Oh, what a wonderful feeling. And the sounds: the clink of gear against your
legs, the ragged hiss of the rope chafing against a poorly threaded bolt
(sorry, sorry), the tinkling of a little spring stream merrily finding its way
down to flatter ground. I am certainly no audio connoisseur, but the acoustics in
that canyon were stellar.
Plus, there were no bugs. Have I told you, Burro, that I am a
bug magnet? Likely due to my sweet-flavored temperament in the mornings.
So, all-in-all, I am perfectly and contentedly happy with the
current state of affairs.
I re-read that post several times and I am sceptical about yopur positive conclusion? Your bank account "situation" seems much worse than your "bugless chilly climbing" stuff.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had your happy temperment Burra.
More dire, however, is your bug attractiveness. Why have you failed to mention this prior?
Come to think of it I am a bug repellent so in theory we are once again the perfect compliments. As always we are those two lines in economic graphs that meet at a perfect equillibrium.
