Friends, Romans, and Sinizens: Lend me your ear.....I come not to praise winter, but to herald it's arrival. So much talk of snow, and yet up until yesterday we had none. This is quite annoying considering how much taxes we pay and a common misconception is that we have snow year round in Canada. But yesterday we were blessed with a bit of a squall which filled the air with beautiful ice crystals floating on the breeze and gave the impression that winter had indeed arrived. It also triggered a migraine in me when the atmospheric pressure changed, but that has departed with much of the of the frozen bounty from the sky. This morning we awoke to discovere that during the night a light dusting had stayed put giving the semblance that a giant had eaten a sugar doughnut and the icing sugar had fallen onto his lap and the floor much like what happens to me whenever I eat one at work. Yet, now that over-powered glowing orb which is many lumens too bright has risen from the horizon and I fear that the joke will be on us as we watch the diamond dust disappear into tiny puddles. Alas, I should not complain as I left my boots at work on Friday. Sorry, no dead pet stories. In exchange, I will confess that I get all teary when I watch the animated classic, The Little Drummer Boy, and I see the part where the little lamb is brought back to life. I hope this suffices. Buses.....gotta love them. I won't go so far as to say that it is a B&S thing for me, instead it stems from getting all stressed out in private motor vehicles and the inattentive drivers that seem to manage somehow to pass a multiple guess examination. My love of bus travel was solidified three years ago when I was treated to a completely voyeuristic experience. A very lovely young lady sat beside me and treated me to a visual display of relieving whatever physical tension she possessed, completely aware of my knowledge of her activities. (How could I not be aware when she bit into my shoulder at the conlcusion) A completely non-participative and annonymous experience which I will get to boast about forever. Previously I mentioned my amourous intentions towards the very lovely and talented Sarah Martin. Here I will treat you to a photographic display of our assumed mutual affection. http://www3.sympatico.ca/alexander.borgia/me_n_sarah.jpg Can you not see in her eyes her enthusiasm? How I have captivated her heart and her attention? O! Love is bliss. For those who may be travelling for the seasonal festivities, I wish you Godspeed and a safe journey, and to all others I wish you a very Merry Christmas.
