I got up
this morning at seven o-clock, went down stairs and started the woodstove while
my wife fed the demanding cats.
We have
to wait an hour to eat breakfast because of pills my wife takes. So back upstairs to my office, den, mancave
(I hate that word- it is so prissy, phony macho) and did twenty minutes on my
total-gym.
I hadn’t
worked out in three days because of all the shoveling and snow moving after
each storm.
Today we are
going down town to shake off the cabin fever.
We will have a nice lunch out, walk around town, get our mail at the
post office, go by the new kitchen store, and of course drop in to the used
book store before returning home.
Meantime the
planet is warming faster than any time short of an asteroid collision or
massive volcano eruption. The Kepler
space craft has confirmed 100 new planets.
The cosmos is expanding and showing no sign of slowing down. Parallel universes are being studied by
theoretical physicist. Light is being
bent by gravitation, time can be altered by speed and I am thinking very
seriously of having fish and chips for lunch.
Just another
day in the foothills of western Maine.
