Wishing I Could Fly South for the Winter

Yesterday was the first day of winter in the Seattle area, at least as far as I’m concerned.

I went outside after my first class was over at 5:30 and it was already dark. After my second class was over at 8:30 there was ice all over my car. I can already see the snow accumulating on the Cascade Mountains to the east, and radio DJ’s are rooting for the local ski resorts to be open by Thanksgiving.

Naturally this scares the crap out of me. I think for Halloween I’m going to be someone who is very afraid of freezing to death. I’m wearing four layers of clothing, including a Texas Basketball shirt which I wear both in celebration of the beginning of the college basketball season and also as an explanation as to why I am so tightly bundled up when it’s “only” 42 degrees outside in the middle of the day.

Wish me luck. I may need it.

cabe, whatever you do, DO NOT WASH THE WOOL.

if i wash the wool, will it sprout into a sheep-plant?

I'm jealous i wish i got a wool sweater... or a sheep

Cabe said...

i haven't worn it yet. it's kind of hot today actually - it might get into the fifties.

cabe got a sweater b/c he is charming. when you become charming, you will get wool.

cabe, if you want to test out the washing wool theory, wait to use matt's imaginary sweater.

Also Cabe i can pick you up at the airport on friday, because the dentonites might sexually molest you. On a lighter note, are you planning on staying over at Nathan's too? and on saturday night also?
