October - Thrust and Parry

Opening the front screen door
    a fierce wind played tug-of-war

  Not to be denied, I tried again
    ~ the chimney whistled in the den

Wow Gershon. We must start eating some wheaties or get a storm door. I hope I helped with the solution...

You are fighting the good fight. Let’s hope the snow doesn’t help the wind.

On advice from Milton Berle, I stuffed my head with straw yesterday to prevent just such an occurrence. ~ No Vacancies
