Rolling into work early on a January friday morning. The sign at the bank says 22 degrees. Pedestrians hurry along with breath steaming as they make their way in the cold. A jetliner rises steadily and silently\u00a0from the horizon in the\u00a0cloudless blue sky.
\nI stop at the red light. A woman on the corner is angry a bus didn’t\u00a0pick her up. She is literally and figuratively steaming. I sympathize,\u00a0 and even more so, when I see she’s with her bundled up child. I go to work.<\/p>\n

A massive storm moves up the East coast Saturday morning.\u00a0 The news reports a national disaster. We go shopping and a snow squall hits. We feel bad for the poor, snow-challenged denizens of the mid-Atlantic states \u00a0but we’re happy it’s them not us. Later, in a full-fledged blizzard, we struggle through the blinding snow to the corner pub for a cozy dinner. The storm abates. We walk through the drifts on the way home under the stars. Winter is beautiful.\u00a0At home\u00a0my snow blower won’t start. I am no longer enchanted with the wintry evening.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning. The world looks beautiful under its pristine white blanket. I feed the birds and go to church. Not a cloud in the sky.\u00a0 We relax and watch football.<\/p>\n

I try not to think about rolling into work on Monday.<\/p>\n
