Freezing

After a string of 50+ degree days, we're back in the depths of winter here in Gelatoville. Bright sunshine accompanied by sub-zero windchills are a daily reminder that winter has the capability to turn its charm on and off at will, all the while ready to smack us in our collective ass with a blast of frigidity.

Still though, the need to be cool prevails. Yesterday I was out running an errand in the neighborhood when a car blaring that insipid “Lean Back” song rolled by, all windows rolled down for us pedestrians to better experience the thump of the bass. The windchill was -3.
