return of the cold weather

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.04.22

I grew up in Calgary, so I don't mind winter; but enough of this 3°C and rain! It's no good for cycling, it's no good for getting around and taking care of things, and it's certainly no good for getting the kids out of the house. Today I found myself wearing my gloves on the way to work, and that's a solid month after the start of Spring.

(It doesn't help that my brother usually chimes in at times like this to tell me about the weather on Salt Spring Island or San Francisco or Barcelona or wherever he might be.)
