Layover in Minneapolis


31 December 2012
Excellent. The sky is blue here in Minneapolis. Different than what I’ve been seeing over the last two weeks at home. Snowy. It’s probably chilly too. By time I get to G.R.—fo sho. Then two full days to entertain myself and . . . interim starts. Not crazy over the empty days, simply because my movement is so stinking limited.
When the ground is covered in snow and the temperatures drop severely, it is still captivating, the neighborhoods, the naked trees; it takes lifting one’s eyes from the ground, focusing on something other than the often grey skies to note.
Is it that easy? No, of course not. The cold curls chins into chests, shoulders into shields; it broadens backs and the gaze gravitates groundward.
