far from the dog days of summer

summer dreamsJust as September peeks it’s unruly head around the corner, the ‘big chill’ set in yesterday, blustery and brutal by Calgary standards. And of course, this sets me off on a tangent, daydreaming of tropical sandy beaches and lush mosaic sunsets, visions enough to cast off any dismal thoughts of the ensuing winter just around the bend.
Bah humbug. I ain’t no winter bunny, that’s for certain!

Friend or foe?

This morning I sat and drank in YouTube skydiving videos, reminiscing about the times of old, somewhat nostalgic in my desire to return the the skies above.

I came across this animated short named “Angst”, and I could relate to Little Andre’s apprehension with the wind.

From the day André was born, he got harassed by the wind, which resulted in a fear for it. He is forced to confront his fears, the moment his dog gets in trouble.
