The Cold

I went cross country skiing for the first time this past weekend up in Kingfield. I didn't want to but I did. It was cold.

I keep forgetting that it's possible to be out in minus two degree weather and be warm. You just have to dress for it, they say, and they're right.  But in reality the thought of going out in minus two degree weather is impossible to dress for - thoughts don't dress for.  The fact is, you can't think about it at all. It makes no sense.

We in Maine are masters of this insanity.
