Mark raises an interesting point….he says, in response to the post yesterday about the deep cold,
Cold without snow is like hard work with no reward. It’s like a baby that cries…and doesn’t stop. It’s like seeing a really bad play, but no one will go for stiff drinks afterward.
Last week we had to do a little vox pop project. Vox Pop, we are learning, is short for Voice of the Populi, or Voice of the People. Essentially it’s Man on the Street interviewing – going out and finding a random sampling of people and asking them all the same question. We split up into groups of 3 and 4, and one group came up with the question, “where is your favorite place to go on vacation?” Lots of people said things like Mexico, Greece, Florida, etc. But one man said he wouldn’t go anywhere. He would stay right here; because in Maine you have to “earn your summah.” Without the deep freeze you can’t truly appreciate the warmth.
So Mark, brother-in-law of mine, you are already thinking like a true Mainer. Pack your bags and come on up.
