I thought about it for a second and then said this – Ocean is a leisure blog. It explores the possibilities of that component of your life.
I’m not sure I fully believe that, but it sounded good.
And so here I am, on a major political event day in my state and I walk away from it here, on Ocean.
Well, not totally. I’ll say this much: Ed and I cancelled each other out in the voting.
Other Wisconsin news? It was cold. Even the bus felt cold. But, I get off, I go vote, I walk home, open the door to my condo, and suddenly, winter feels like a small nothing.
In the late afternoon, I drive to the café, passing a playground in a very small park. Everything is iced over. No kids here. What a surprise.
Returning home again, I watch a guy walk a kid up toward a park trail. He points to the ice on the trees. The kid listens. They walk on.
And that is today, political happenings notwithstanding.
