It was raining when I crawled out of bed this morning. With the exception of a teasing two minute flurry last week, I haven't seen snow on the ground since last December, and even then it only lasted two days before melting away.

This is what I miss:


Longtime friend Edward snapped this shot of Lake Timiskaming (New Liskeard, ON) earlier this month.

It isn't winter if the water is liquid.

I don't miss the snow at all. I remember winters when there was some question whether carbon dioxide would remain in a non-solid state, never mind water. I like the idea of being able to forget my hat and gloves at home and surviving the experience. I guess I'm just a BAD Canadian (or maybe just a Vancouverite!).

Not a bad Canadian really, perhaps just one who has temporarily lost his way. :-)

As much as I miss having a real winter, I have to seriously wonder if I could hack it anymore. Living in the (comparatively) tropical climate of the US mid-Atlantic region has made me a little soft. On the other hand, I only survive summers here by hiding in my basement until late September; living any further south would be potentially lethal.

Texas summers kill me...after 20 years I never got used to them.

That's why God created central air conditioning.

It's not like summers are cold in most of Canada either. Montreal summers can be brutal.

True, but summers in Ontario were unbearable for a relatively short period of the year, perhaps a month. In DC, it's ugly (IMHO) June through September.

Since when are you a Canadian at all? :)

Born and raised in Montréal, been living in Boston for 12 years. Wanna see my passport (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)?

I knew there was a reason I've always had the hots for you! :) Sure, I'd look at your passport. Anything else you wanna show me?

The hots for me? Always? Really?

Hmmm. This bears discussion.

uh huh...you might not remember me, but you were at IBR a few years ago and we met at Dim Sum.

Other details can go offline, my email address is in my livejournal info page. :)

Strange, it displayed it on my user info page, but it was "mangled." Well anyway, mine's ramsjb at yahoo.
