Snow was falling gently. Big flakes, wet and heavy, with no memory of salt, or of warm tropical sunshine. Winter couldn’t last forever, and it wouldn’t. But looking out across the empty, frozen marsh, there was no evidence of spring coming soon, or ever. A tiny adjunct of the marsh, a spring-fed pond, held a handful of Canada geese and a throng of mallards. A deep ache owned a part of my leg, souvenir of a summer day long ago and a careless misstep. There is no winter like a winter in Froglandia. The chill eats into your bones and ignites memories of past injuries and feeds an existential dread. Only the lava fields are spared, defiant in the face of winter, raw heart of the planet screaming steam at the sky.

Today’s kitty toy news—-Is the glass half empty or half full? Is the drink used or fresh?

I know that cat. That cat used to be there. Now it is not there.

A froggy backlog is the only kind of constipation I am a fan of.
