Snow, Running, Dog Jackets, and Pissing People Off
I just looked out my window to find that it’s snowing quite heavily outside right now. Being in Dominica for two years without any snow or cold weather makes seeing this snow absolutely wonderful!
Scope and Molly are Dominican dogs, and have hence never actually seen snow. It’s flurried a bit this winter in NYC, but this is the first heavy snow that I’ve seen. Once it collects a little more, I plan on taking them out for a walk and to see their first snow! Speaking of Dominican doggies, I found out the other day that they are not built for cold weather. They were both shivering quite a bit, so I took the plunge (I never thought I would be the type of person to do this) and bought Scope and Molly matching red and blue furry jackets! They haven’t yet come in the mail, but here’s a sneak preview of what they look like:
I can’t believe it’s snowing right now, because yesterday it was over 60 degrees! Actually, it was so nice that I went for a 7 mile run. Surgery kind of ruined my workout schedule, and since I walk 5+ miles a day, I’ve had a good excuse not to go running. But yesterday, I remembered yet again how good running is for my body, mind and soul.
A few minutes ago, my editor from the Differential emailed me and told me that she deleted a rude and nasty comment from my last post on the blog. She was kind enough to remove it, but I told her that it really didn’t bother me much. As someone who tends to ruffle a lot of feathers, I’m quite used to taking the good with the bad. I tried to find a good quote that relays this sentiment, but I couldn’t, so I made up my own…
“You can’t cause waves in the water without getting a little wet.”
Luckily, I don’t mind getting completely soaked!

People will always have mean things to say. Especially those people that have low self-esteem.
Dont listen to them. They suck.
I like your water quote. I might just use it….bit I think I have heard it before so it might not be all yours. Either way, I like it.
Why do you think people would take the time to be jerks and post something rude? What motivates that? I simply do not understand it.
