Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 25, 2011
Transcript:
O silent night, o blue new moon, o yet unrisen sun, a symphony of nothingness; The perfect solo run. The stars that flood the sky with light that doesn't reach the ground, a million footfalls in the snow that fail to make a sound. The icy patch, the pirouette the face plant on the lawn, the snow angel that also softly disappears by dawn.

Sounds about right. Got my first (and only) CAT scan after falling on a snow covered icy patch on a run. That taught me not to overstride trying to keep up with faster runners.Runner since the 70s

Who got snow? We saw it out in New Hampshire, but it seems lots of people didn’t get any this Christmas.

In Michigan, north of the arctic circle, it doesn’t come up until April…

Prefer winter cycling, myself. After all, riding at near or below zero helps burns those calories lots faster than during summer!

No Christmas snow here in Michigan (isn’t that where Frazz takes place?). Had a little Friday night, but it melted with the sun.

Involuntary snow angels. Haven’t made any of those for years (and yes, I miss snow sometimes).

the poetry of snow,I’ll never lose it. My running and walking days (and nights) are over, I’ve been in a wheel chair for years now but the magic of snow will always be with me. Thanks for your words and images to freshen it again.

The last stanza was funny, but the first two were rather pretty.
