Midwinter

So when I was younger I used to be a member of the Episcopal Church. St. Matthews in Austin to be exact. We were a part of the Diocese. Our Diocese was the Diocese of Texas, which is funny, because we were just a region, why we got to be the Diocesan equivalent of UT, I do not know, but I liked it. I digress... Around January we had this big youth retreat called Midwinter. All the youth in the Diocese would head out to Camp Allen and we would have a little mini 3 day summer camp to get us through until it was time for proper camp. The thing about it is, since we were from Texas - all the activities were the same because essentially, so was the weather.


I would like to have a Midwinter here. I would like to go to Spain and have a little mini Summer camp on the beach to help me make it through. I do have to say that all these days in the high 30's feel warm to me at this point. However I know that I am not yet warm as I cling to the most efficient way to get anywhere and I ride the tram almost everywhere and I am definitely putting on a thin layer of winter fat... I like to tell myself it is helping keep me warm, but it is simply the result of a fear of walking in the cold and running on the ice. OH WELL.

I'm off to bed. AKA evening hibernation.
