Posting a blog every morning is proving to be an ambitious task. At the moment, I have no topic in mind, except for the ominous ARCTIC BLAST which will produce cold, really cold air. Casey Curry, meteorologist on channel 13's Eyewitness News, has clinched the lead story for this morning's broadcast. With a smile, she repeats, ad nauseum, that Thursday is THE day; a mix of snowflakes and rain will/may fall from the sky, while we Texans helplessly observe.
Will I alter my routine on Thursday? Not significantly. I know I will moan BBBRRR when I set off for work in the morning, and my gait will quicken slightly. I will nod in agreement a thousand times when I hear "sure is cold today", or some derivative, with the folks with whom I exchange small talk. I will remember to protect my kids, Blue and my one exposed pipe. The bushes will have to fend.
Beyond that, no change. I do not mean to be insensitive to those who reside under bridges, I trust our social services network will ensure they stay warm. We will survive while our atmosphere breaks its decade long record for its coldest day. A record to applaud? No. A record producing the "where were you on January 8th, 2010 query? No. The sad effect will be the number of house fires inevitably sparked due to the use of faulty space heaters. These are the lead stories scheduled for Thursday and throughout the weekend.
Please allow me to be the first to wish you a heartfelt "stay warm", I will not be the last.
