Oops. Another period of blog neglect.
Rather than looking back, I'll look ahead.
It's spring, but one last grip of cold air has settled in.
It will give way soon, which means cherry blossoms in bloom and the beginning for one of my favorite times of year here: barbecue season.
The first such event will be this Sunday, when the Nanaimo (our regular bar) crowd comes out for an afternoon "hanami" party which literally means flower-viewing. Really it just means we set up a big barbecue in a park full of cherry trees and eat and drink and throw (or kick) the ball (or disc) around.
Spring, in all its moderate-temperature glory, quickly fades to summer, and its loathsome heat. Throughout, the barbecue season continues. A saving grace of sorts, a reason to get outside and be social despite the unhealthy addiction to the powerful air conditioner in the living room.
Drape a damp towel around your neck.
Sweat, drink and be merry.
