Dave, a funny thing happened to my compass the day after I retired. No matter what direction I pointed it, it always read " SOUTH". Your nice image just reminded me that the temperature's are turning colder here and it's time to start heading SOUTH! LOL.

Hi Fstop;

I can definitely relate to your compass metaphor, but with a 180° twist!
I have always loved, and looked forward to winter. And when I retired from my academic career having lived in College Station, Texas for eleven years, eight months, three weeks, and two days without ever having acclimated to what many folk consider an ideal, salubrious, winter- free climate, I had, however, never ceased to miss the essential invigoratingly punctuated changes in the seasons up with which I had grown in New England, Upstate NY, and Pennsylvania. Winter vacations? Winter camping in Alaska or Scotland! Even now, with a hitch in my git-along and if not in a wheelchair having to hustle with crutches, I still do love winter for it’s never-failing invigoration!
If I were a cultural Yupic or Yupiamiut elder above the Arctic Circle in my disabled condition I might already have sought that blessed terminal warmth of the final sleep under a beautiful aurora- bedecked winter night sky,
Funny, eh? How compasses can read so differently!
Best regards,
Dave

Good morning. Based on your writing, I’m guessing you taught English at A&M?
