he evokes a feeling in me. like a time i wandered away from my mother at the store and for one or two brief minutes thought i'd never find her again.

it started snowing today, not sure if it will stick, but i might wake up to a white city. the first snows are always something special to me...i never get tired of waking up to the first blanket of snow here. every store you walk into is playing christmas music, lights decorate most store fronts and streets, and walking around all bundled up in a big coat, scarf, and boots, makes me feel unlike anything else.

i wish i could share the holidays with my family again...here...in this snow filled city.
