The weather is still miserable, a cold north wind blowing clouds and rain direct from the Arctic right down the fjörd. Wasn’t raining as hard today as yesterday, but I realized right away when I went to the car with Loki that this is still long-underwear weather. Somehow my body/mind protests this idea. It is JUNE, fer cryin’ out loud! I always have trouble with this situation. I was a lifeguard at various swimming pools when in high school and college, and have been an avid — though not especially talented — surfer when living in Southern California in the early 1980’s. I like the sun, period. And warm weather, period. How the hell did I end up here?
