It’s been a long winter. Colder than expected, even compared to that one in Oregon. Too long for some pursuits to remain wrapped up in nylon inside a garage. The boat’s now in the past and it takes tremendous will not to ride away to the desert somewhere and blow loads of money. Well, money better saved and spent elsewhere.

Instead, I think of jobs I can take on for the weekends. Whatever I must do to hang onto my certain pleasures.

Local enjoyment. The joys of one’s home turf. How do you do it?
