The old security guard was puffing on a smoke, and staring out at the parking lot with faded blue eyes, as Nick and I approached his bench.
“It’s nice out, huh?” Nick asked.
“Oh, it’s beautiful,” Neil said, and I swear the blue in his eyes brightened as he said it. It was 8:30 am on a mid-December morning and I guessed it was 60 degrees in the sun.
“Global warming ain’t so bad, right?” I asked, and Neil let out the first chuckle I’d ever heard.
“Not bad at all,” Nick said, “my house will be beach-front property soon.”
“Ahhh, HA-HA!” Neil let out, and his contagious laughter infected me nearly as much as Nick’s joke.
You already know my feelings about this horrible time of year but, even though I’d welcome an ice-free winter with open arms, I have to admit the abnormal weather does make me wary.
I even feel a little guilty for making the joke…
I totally expected to share this last photo by telling you that I’m holding onto spring with all my might, but I haven’t really had to this year. I’ve even been hoping for snow.
