I Am An Island...

...surrounded by a sea of dense, chilly fog.  It's been almost zero visibility for awhile now.  I don't really mind the cold--it's Winter after all--but not being able to see ten feet in any direction starts to mess with your head.  Is anyone out there?  I'm not a fan of the sun, but I still like to look at the sky, see clouds and mountains in a world that isn't damp and colorless.

Although. The up-side to the blank abyss is that I have the best motivation to settle down in my cozy chair and read all afternoon...maybe into the night if my book is as good as I hope.  Before that, however, I have to water all the plants, do laundry, unload the dishwasher and give the boys their lunch, then I'm off to read a story where bad things prowl in the swamps of a Louisiana bayou.

And for me, peeps, that makes this about the most perfect kind of Saturday...
