It's that time of year again. As the temps fall, I start adding more and more layers of black clothing before heading to our Saturday Women in Black vigil. Some days I can't pile on enough layers to keep my teeth from chattering. I've always been a person with no internal furnace. This song came to mind the other night when I heard the forecast for tomorrow. I know, I know... it's lame, but a frozen brain will do that to ya.
Shivering
(Sung to Silver Bells)
Hear the car horns, see the peace signs
as the people drive by
All the shoppers
preparing for Christmas
We wear black clothes, many black clothes
Still our faces are froze
And on our vigil corner you'll hear
Shivering, Shivering
we're dressed in black and we're silent
Standing still, at the Mills*
Hoping for peace Christmas Day.**
*The Colorado Mills mall where we stand
** (And every day)
And speaking of "shivering"... Curan, the backwards bicyclist, is still riding, even as the cold winds begin to blow. If you have five minutes to send a message of encouragement to someone, please email him. He's in Kentucky now, having biked backwards from California. I told him that I wouldn't even be able to bike FORWARDS across Denver! His email address is bikingbackwards@hotmail.com. You can also read about him here or here.

I recommend a wool sweater in some of those layers. It's the only thing that keeps me warm. I applaud your dedication.
Thanks Mary.

I was playing with html tags. I'm the last in my class to discover how to bold and italicize comments.
Thanks for stopping by!
