The Winter Doldrums

Let's face it, it's been a bear of a winter. Housebound, although one of my favorite sports, is nevertheless a matter over which I would like to retain some control. But freezing rain, wind chill factors of minus anything, snow too high to allow me to open my door to go outside, and day after day where the temperature refuses to go above 32° get a little old. Couple that with a vehicle that refuses to start and the mechanic doesn't know why, and house bound is on the agenda. Yeah, I could sort old photos which date back to 1983, and get rid of some of the Colorado mountains and canyons, or the five thousand pictures of Alaska, or some of the board by board progress on the west deck and office/dressing room that Cecil designed and built I don't know how long ago. I could stack up all the furniture and call the carpet cleaner. I could get busy on the sequel to the book I published last year.
