Hello readers.<\/p>\n
Summer is winding down and Winter is coming. <\/p>\n
Time to stock up on things to read!<\/p>\n
I have noticed, during those strange moments of contemplation where I step back and really examine what the hell I am doing, that I do sort of "stock up" for the winter. Given our heavy snows during the Winter of 2009 – where, mind you, I had NO SHORTAGE of things to do – including shovel the cold white stuff that the snowpocalypse delivered us. I can't even relate how many hours I spent digging out my truck, and, the Draumr Dog Bailey is very particular about her own needs for cleared space. I don't think I need to spell that out for you. <\/p>\n
In any case, since Winter is coming, I'm making sure that I don't need to risk life and limb to escape the house for entertainment. Books, music, games, hell I even got a guitar to stave off any possible case of stir-crazy. <\/p>\n
(It won't work, of course – the stir-crazy is in my bones and it can't be entirely ignored, but perhaps it can be delayed)<\/p>\n
Rida laughs about this vaguely squirrel-like behavior but I ignore it – when she's down to her last book to read and there are six feet of snow in our looooong driveway, we'll see who the crazy one is. <\/p>\n
So as Winter is only a season away, dear readers, are you ready?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
