Shake Off the Winter Blahs

forecast calls for a run of
warm clear weather, which
means it's go time around
here. the kitties go for a
walk, i go to lowe's for a
load of lumber, the tide
goes out, a fisherman goes
in up to his knees (no luck),
the creek goes its own way,
and we go in circles around
the pool table, orbiting a
constellation of balls, each
crack of the cue an applied
physics experiment as we
spin among stars and the
northern hemisphere tilts
its face to the sun.
