This ridiculous thing I bought five years ago as everyone around me tut-tutted that it would never earn its keep is put into overdrive as we conduct methodical studies of the pros and cons of cara-cara vs.

The charming first and second snowstorms pass and the ones that follow are met with more of a really? it’s snowing again? Squarely between Christmas and mid-Winter break, it’s too early in the season to be so weary of the cold, but here I am, counting down the days until the hi/bye gloves can literally come off.įortunately, just when I’ve resigned myself to thinking it’s going to be as beige and bleak going forward as the paragraph above, January - as if implicitly understanding that it’s going to have to sell itself harder - presents us with a luminous ray of tropical sunshine packaged as citrus fruit. The holiday party tinsel-and-bubbly frenzy of November and December is replaced with hibernation and Netflix binges. January, as far as I’m concerned, is a pretty mediocre month.
