i think i may be Canadian.
so, I have come to the realization this season that I do not hate winter.
I don't enjoy the fact that I am on my bike less frequent (depending on snow/wind, not necessarily tempurature), but I have equipped myself with great boots and a great coat this winter, and I have found myself very much content with winter. The air is crisp and fresh. Four seasons are so normalizing. I haven't got the winter blues this year.
It's warming up early this year, and I'm really happy with the weather currently-- it's been around 0* lately. Honestly, i wouldn't mind so much if it does get colder again, for now at least.
I just spent my Sunday morning eating banana chocolate chip pancakes with Ashley and planning our trip to New York City. We leave tomorrow night on an overnight bus. I can't believe it's happening... it's really, really a "dream come true"... 5 1/2 days..! yes! I still need to pack. I'm going for the minimalist traveller idea, a la Chicago 2008.
I'LL POST WHEN I'M THERE!
