Ra's Life

Yes, Canada gave us a Thanksgiving eve present and sent a wet cold front our way. OK, but it's still November. After 15 years of having Novembers with the balmiest weather on earth in Egypt, I was hoping winter wouldn't start at least until December, if not Christmas. But it is still hours from being Thanksgiving. OK, I know, it's just snow.

I was out on my bike, as usual. Not as usual, I was perhaps the only person out biking tonight after 9:30 p.m. in D.C. It was more pleasant than a couple of days ago with cold rain. I have found a combination of fleeces and coats to wear to keep me warm on my bus commute.

I may get in trouble for this but I need to introduce Melanie. See the cutie in the middle of the Red Dress photo in the "I see Red People" post? That's Mel. My dear long time friend "Rose Eh" is on the opposite far right. Melanie is of Ukranian descent, scary smart, scary sense of humor as well. I'd explain how she thinks but I can't since I don't quite understand it. But it's great the way she does it. And she's fom Canada and in Canada, which presents a challenge - especially if she is the one who sent this snowstorm!
