Wimpy!

         Every week I talk to my former golf partner, he's 101 now. Often we reminisce about how fanatic we were about playing golf. About the only weather that stopped us was heavy rain. There were mornings we'd wait in the club house until the morning sun had melted the frost on the greens so we could tee off.

      For many years I was equally fanatic about hunting. Many was the time that I ventured out in blizzard conditions. Today it struck me how wimpy I've become.  With a chill north wind blowing and temperatures in the lower 50s I was tempted to stay inside. Why didn't I?  Kaia needs daily exercise, so for her sake we headed out. Admittedly it wasn't a long hunt but it was enough for both of us to get some exercise. 

    It was a good reminder of good gifts. Norwegians have a saying "No bad weather, only bad clothing." Warm clothing is a gift as is a warm house. Best we be grateful being many are not so blessed.
