Mother Nature's little reminder...

All the mild weather recently must've made me forget that it's still winter and that I am, in fact, living in Canada... however southern.

Got carried away during my late-night walk along the boardwalk along Ashbridge's Bay, walked a little longer than usual (well over an hour) and received a lovely case of frostnip on the upper front half of both legs. It's pretty and red with whitish splotches.

Oops.

Frostnip, for those unuaware, is a mild form of frostbite that occurs when exposed to cold temperatures for extended periods of time. No permanent damage -- just some redness, some whiteness and some prickly pain (not serious).

I'd best invest in some tights or long underwear if I'm going to keep this up.

The countdown to Cuba is on...
