The forecast for Granville, OH, for late January. I spent decades there so know very well the harsh conditions. People used to advise me that I should learn how to embrace the 4, distinct seasons but I never could. For about 5 months, Ohio is nirvana for cycling but one winter, I was outside, wearing the full Carhartt’s outfit, splitting wood (I MISS that), wind is howling, temp around 15 degrees, cloudy….I turned into the wind and distinctly remember, stating out loud, “I need to get out of here”…..
….and so I did. My exit was not as planned but it occurred and I am so, so grateful that it did. But, as unlivable, to me, are Ohio winters…well late fall and a big part of spring too, there is about 3 months of AZ summer I’d like to avoid. So, looking at renting around New Albany as I did two years ago and enjoying the grandsons, children, woods, cycling, etc… Lastly, my good friend Amy, about whom long time readers of this silly blog will recognize, put a bug in my ear about a place in ID, across from the Grand Tetons, that needs experiencing so I may do that too.
