Episode 2
Snow or Sand? Both have their pluses and minuses. Snow we associate
with biting cold. Sand we associate with heat. Both snow and sand come with
some level of discomfort.
Of course, the optimist in me associates snow with winter
sports. Those of us who are skiers, tobogganers and skaters anxiously await the
first snow or sign of cold. Not me, unfortunately my three attempts at skiing left
me flat on my back, so I much prefer the coziness of the lodge or cabin where I
can cuddle up with a good book.
It’s not that I mind the cold. It’s the slipping, sliding, and
driving in the snow that comes with it. What I do like about winter (especially
up North) are new shows (Ballet, Broadway) and fun things to do in the cold. A good snowball fight can be invigorating.
I currently live where there is permanent summer and can safely say scalding hot sand is no picnic either. Give me pool life to the ocean on a hot, muggy day. In the Dog Days of Summer, a dip in the ocean can feel like dousing yourself in tepid bath water.
The good news though, is living in eternal summer forces you
to keep your arms and legs toned. We are out of the house more often than in, so
shorts and spaghetti straps become a way of life. Music is pretty much everywhere.
A downside of that is these events center around alcohol. Not that I don’t
enjoy a good glass of wine or beer.
Sand or snow comes with its Pros and Cons. Still, I would
take Spring over them both. I like balmy breezes, blooming flowers, and budding
trees. Give me fresh greenery any day. Air
conditioners aren’t cranked up yet and people are so much more optimistic. It’s
a hopeful time of year and who can’t use a little hope.
As Shakespeare says :
Shall I
compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date…

Marcia,
I love the picture of you at the begining. Is that a restaurant or coffee shop where you are sitting? It is happy colors and matches your personality!
I agree with you I like Spring or early fall best.
Enjoyed your post.
Diana I was at a coffee shop in New Orleans a few weeks ago. Thanks so much for the nice words. You made my day.
Good answer, Marcia. Spring is always nice!
Marcia, I hadn't thought about the need to be toned if living in a perpetual summer climate. It makes sense though if one cares about appearances. I just returned from a conference in St. Louis and was surprised at the number of people (mostly men but not all) who led with their belly.
Lynn,
I am a huge fan of spring. Everything is so new and the smells...
Yes, Judith I think women take much better care of themselves as they age. Sounds like your conference was wonderful. I lie St. Louis hot or not.
Here, where it is eternal summer and there are so many gorgeous Latina ladies, it forces us to work on all of the exposed areas. The competition is stiff.
I loved your first two chapters of HotShot Doc!!! The characters are complex and likeable. Both have been hurt by people they trusted. Their attraction to each other sizzles. Great opening!
