Winter<\/p>\n
Waning Wolf Moon<\/p>\n

Last night I watched a bit of the Ravens and the Steelers.\u00a0 As a Midwesterner my sympathies were with the rust bucket team from the Steel City.\u00a0 They won. Now I have a half-hearted dog in the superbowl.\u00a0 No, wait.\u00a0 That was Michael Vick.\u00a0 Anyhow.<\/p>\n
Weather has become unremarkable.\u00a0 Ordinary, garden variety winter in gray clothes, brooding over the landscape.\u00a0 Though the temperature is more bearable, 10 degrees feels quite nice, the weather itself has taken on a dull tone.\u00a0 We like variety here in the Upper Midwest and\u00a0 our position in the center of North America gives it to us.\u00a0 There are no mountains or oceans here to mediate or moderate; we get what rolls down from the north or blows up from the Gulf or over from the west.<\/p>\n
We thrive on change.\u00a0 When the weather becomes dull, it throws us back on other projects like work or chores.\u00a0 Come on sky!<\/p>\n
I wrote four pages yesterday on Red Earth, my first person account of what it was like to become Adam.\u00a0 More today.<\/p>\n
Of late, I’ve begun waking up at 6:00 AM.\u00a0 I do not want to get up until 7:00 AM, that’s the whole point of my new routine.\u00a0 At least for now I’ve chosen to lie there and think. \u00a0 It’s quiet, I’m fully rested and an hours worth of thought seems a useful way to occupy myself until 7:00 AM.<\/p>\n
Now onto the mind of Adam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
