And in the Meadows

Everyone likes to exaggerate. For example:

Some think NASCAR is an athletic activity. (Sorry for those of you reading this blog that like both wrestling and NASCAR. I did not mean to rail against your interests. It just kind of happened. Please forgive me.)

McCain said he is going to follow Bin Laden to the gates of hell. Don't forget the keys, Johnny.

"I laughed so hard after reading Matt's blog!" Right? Right?

When Egypt decided to exaggerate, it chose winter. In Egyptian Arabic, the word for rainy weather is derived from the word "winter." I suppose after summer anything cooler qualifies as winter. The weather has certainly been pleasant. The rain, along with a steady sea breeze, have brought the temperature down slightly. It is still, however, leagues away from conditions deserving the title winter.

This is my friend Adrian unintentionally doing his Donkey Kong impression. He can intentionally do a good Wookie impression. His impersonation range may extend to other fuzzy creatures but I only know of those two.


It wintered a couple days ago, this morning, and more winter is on the way.
