I don’t know why, but my mind too often returns to horrific memories with a kind of peace and almost nostalgia. Is it because pain is proof of life?

I’d love to go to Thailand someday myself. Diving, though, no. No thanks.

Believe it or not it is Korea that calls me. Those years were the only time I’ve been free of study, financially independant with money to spare and absolutely no responsibilities. Sometimes, when it all gets a bit much Will and I drift into a converstion about whether we should go back. ‘All that free time’, we say. ‘The food’, we say. ‘Jen and James are still there’, we say. But we don’t go, because it would mean putting our lives on hold again, and we kinda like our lives.

Yes, it is still fucking winter here.

And as for the swimming and diving, my friend, from one swimmer to another:

There is land ahead.

I love seeing that post from the one who lives in Florida and longs to live elsewhere – it somehow makes me feel better…I dunno …that maybe Florida is not a great destination after all, and suck it up, it’s winter , even though I;m desperate for a change of scene – I love all the other seasons here – but winter drags drags drags on….gets suffocating because you feel dead inside.

I haven’t travelled much, but I’d rather be many places than here right now, thank you.

Winter? What is winter? There are only two seasons in Florida – Hurricane season, and Tourist season.

I long for seasons. I long for winter. For snow. For breezes. For red, gold, breathtaking leaves on trees, for the crunch of dead grass under my feet. I long to live elsewhere.

Winter? What? I am sorry, there are only two seasons in AZ. Summer and summer-lite

Paris and around Northern France, Rome.

Winter and Spring are having a turf war here. Gorgeous and sunny one day, cold and snowy the next. It’s neurotic. {And causing me to be…}

Just as we were discussing putting away the snow suits, we got 12 inches of snow here in New Jersey. February always seems like the longest, rather than shortest month.

But in New Orleans, which was my home for 13 years of adulthood. February was the best month. Some years you could wear shorts, but even in warm coats, the Carnival parades are glorious and the days temperate.
