Sick but

 in total ski bliss. @Val Thorens

 My best ski day so far! Unfortunately slope is not on, no record of my average speed and top speed。The whole ski even didn’t close my rings… 

I finally feel like a good skier.

奇怪的梦

 梦里有实验室，电视机，同事，和自己愤怒告知要离开的消息和它的不径而走。还遇到了心里的那条蛇。

面对那条蛇，原来是这个颜色，这么具体。

没什么可以说，默默慢慢嚼着润喉片，也许没有答案。

 The show is great. Glad I did it.

in the mood of winter

The fall color is being splendid in the neighborhood. 

I have been calculating how many days I could count for the April 15th. This is not a good thing though. But, in a sense I have quit already. 

How did I arrive here? At this isolation of not being part of the game, part of the team? 

Yes, I am in the deep winter mood.

Gardener

 We have been wanting to replace our gardener for a while since he started to come only sporadically. Twelve years ago the monthly fee he didn't change. Only now he only came once a month, which still made his service kind expensive. But, the firing never happened even though we talked about for at least more than one year.

Now, at end of this year, he came and said he need retire. He is firing us instead. Twelve years later, our gardener is much much old, that probably would explain his declined frequency showing up last several years. 

Ok,  things converge eventually. Sad though.
