Week
three of the Twelve Weeks of Winter Tour de Force has
begun. The sky was overcast and light snow drifted down
for most of the day. A quiet day, baking was the highlight of activity here. A pumpkin loaf, with raisins and some very nice pecans, nice despite their age. I don't quite know what happened to the rest of the day. Oh yes, I remember now, the rest of the day was taken up with listening to and reading things I immediately wanted to forget, or better yet, things I wish I had not heard or read in the first place. I am a little thrown today, the people I've come into contact with wanted to discuss the merits of the political party they support, while others seemed determined that I support a cause that will facilitate their personal gain. None of this interests me and I have to admit to being slightly irritated by exposure to these obsessions. With friends I don't really mind, my friendships are not based on total agreement. As for the rest, well good luck and I hope you don't walk all over someone else's' rights as you try to grab what you feel is rightfully yours. Mist agrees, but then she would; Mist does not like confrontation and when faced with political dissension she always, always backs the biped that rattles the food package. Today, that was me. |
