So Cold…so, very cold...but it smells like spring....

The wind is basically constantly howling through my windows. It started last night while I was sleeping. It went from a nice 40 degrees last night, to windy and in the 20’s tonight. If you see yesterday’s post, you will notice that I mocked the seasons and implied that it is becoming spring a month early. Today Old Man winter came back in the form of cold. He probably just took off for a second for a rendezvous with Mother Nature out back. He’s back and probably invigorated...he brought the smell of spring with him, too. You can thank me.

I’m hitting the rhythm of the week…everything is on a very comfortable pace (yes, it can get more comfortable than usual) Not having watched TV during prime time hours (the mind rot portion of the schedule) the last few days, I’ve been fairly productive taking care of things in the house…but I’ve been sleeping less as well. A winner is me for productivity. Dare I cancel my cable subscription? Hell no.

I’m setting up the chessboard right now and the pieces are almost in place. What kind of opening to I play? I never look more than 2 moves ahead so, where I start is important. Hmmmm….Fortify the wall in front of my king? Spread out and take angles? What the hell am I talking about?
