First Snowfall

[abracanabra]

In honor of the first snowfall, I am wearing my new Victoria's Secret panties with sparkly snowflakes all over them.

I encourage you all to do something slightly whimsical to celebrate--and tell me about it.

Monsoon season...rainy season...pretty much the same thing. Everything just comes to life and starts to grow like crazy. It was especially noticeable in Africa, where for three-quarters of the year it was difficult to make anything grow.

Parts of Guatemala between where I work and where I live are like that. It's kind of surreal passing through in different parts of the year, where there are either cacti surrounded by skeletal trees (like something out of a spaguetti Western, but not quite) or vibrant green shrubs and trees whose leaves almost completely cover the cacti. But most of the rest of the country just fluctuates between wetter and drier, hotter and cooler.

Precisely. That's what I love about it: the surreality. I suppose that won't come as a surprise to anybody.

I have to say that I love this whole "reply to a reply to a reply to a reply" thing. It's kind of like phone tag, but not.
