Fall just fell and today it feels like winter. It is dreadful to think that will be the same weather for the next 5 months. November, December, January , February and March. With the difference in that sometimes it will be worst, blizzards, freezing rain , snow storm, ice storm , any possible combination. One can say that you had become a Canadian when you accept this weather as something normal, with out any fuss about it . 11 years are not enough, I can say, there is denying , slow recognition , impotency and finally acceptation of the unavoidable : darkness and cold. The antidote is to keep you busy, so busy that the weather does not exist. If you can succeed on this, soon you will be in January, the days will start to be longer, and hope will take you to April with the certainty that spring will come once more .
