My excuse for not meeting him for brunch uptown was pretty lame - I was a bit chilled from being out last night. I had listened to the weather report (bitter temperatures) and then heard the howling wind coming off the river.
Of course if I keep this attitude I might be staying inside until possibly March!
Let's face it, there's always going to be 'wind' of some kind - making it easy to not do something. Hug the shore, stay on the bench, play it safe. My friend Dave used to have plenty of kick in the pants, big brother type of counsel (whether you were ready for it or not). One of the things he used to say was "Are you going to have a revolution or just talk about it" as well as what I heard in my head today: "It's happening with or without you."
I turned on some bossa nova music to drown out the wind and bundled up and met friends at a yoga class in union square later in the afternoon.
So here's my thought for tonight - Don't listen to the wind!
