We had tremendous snow. Historic snow! A back-to-back-to-back
#snowmageddon scenario. School was cancelled, life was disrupted,
the power went out and everything was white. Finally, I put on my
big honking duck boots and noisy nylon pants and went for a
proper walk. (By the way, does any one read these summaries? Just
curious.) It was all so novel and disorienting: the bristly
sizzle the snow made as I sunk in near to my knees; the altered,
iced-over geographies of the trail; the disappeared blackberry
vines, weighed down and buried somewhere in the drift. The world
was familiar, but different: a semi-barren, bleached-out
cousin-planet to my ordinary home. I was thinking about the Mars
rover, which had shut down that week after all those years
zapping back dispatches from its ramble across a similarly alien
landscape; its final missive home: “My battery is low and it is
getting very dark.” Well, unfortunately, my recording rig doesn’t
carry itself with the same dignity. Friends, it zonked out on me
unannounced, a thousand steps from home. And so, this episode
ends without ending—we will set out together, but never return.
And you will not be hearing my own signature sign off either,
though I mean it just as earnestly as I type it out now: Thanks
for coming on the walk. That was nice.
This week’s walk is sponsored by Erik Bloom’s Birthday, brought
to you by his friend Chris Colin.
