Yes, it sounds like the beginning of a suspense novel. However, it is simply a description of the current weather. We’ve been hoping for rain for quite some time. Finally, it has arrived. With it, there has been a surprising drop in temperature. Here it is mid-morning with the rain on hold after just more than an inch of rain in the past 24 hours, and it is only 10 Celsius. Naturally, I am spending the morning, for the most part, indoors at the computer.
Today’s post is meant to serve as presenting a normal picture of life. I am a naturist. At least, that is one descriptor of who I am. Yet, I am more than that. Rather than having my penchant for living as many hours of my life as possible while nude define me, I want to show how much the same I am with the general population of humanity. Now, I am a month shy of seventy years old. Something typical for people my age, is an interest in genealogy. I have had a DNA test done [actually two of them] with the purpose of helping me locate missing strands of the family history.
Other tasks on my agenda for today include going for mail – we don’t have door-to-door delivery – and packing my bag for another visit to my son’s home. This weekend is a baseball tournament weekend for my nine-year-old grandson. I’ll be watching all of his games and visiting at his home in the other hours. Of course, all of this will be done while clothed. Of course, in a perfect world, I would be able to do some or all of this while nude, weather permitting. I include weather permitting because I live in Canada. This is a northern hemisphere country where there is no guarantee of summer being longer than a weekend. Yes, I know, that is a poor excuse for humour.
Naturally, I will also be keeping up on the news from my home country and around the world. Canadian news is getting more and more interesting since this is an election year. Later in the day, my hometown Canadian Football League team, the Ottawa RedBlacks will be playing my favourite western Canadian team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Beer will not be drunk during the game. Remember the weather situation? It is highly likely that red wine will be the beverage of choice. I also plan on surfing the Internet, watching a bit of Netflix, and working on my current novel-in-progress. All-in-all, it is a normal day, in a normal Canadian household.
