Chilly weather is here. The seeming annual ritual of taking a hair dryer to the water pipes is complete. The water must flow.



I'm holed up at home, awaiting a winter storm. It seems to be avoiding us. I remain hopeful. I've gorged on Cosmos and space documentaries between stoking the fire. Home on the Hill is toasty overall. The water is running in most of the spigots - hoping we will avoid the salon treatment come morning.



I'm single on valentines weekend and I'm rather enjoying it. I've loafed, slept, cleaned, done laundry and have enjoyed bachelor activities. Dinner after a gathering of friends last night allowed fellowship and conversation. Smoking on the porch with Hesten and loving on kitties is about all I want today.



My thoughts meander to MPS And still i wish things had ended differently - not a regret as much as a desire that the endings could have left some leway to proceed as friends in time.
