Wreck Your Own Adventure Newsletter 1-25-26: Snow. Snow. And a Bonus Show.

Greetings, Wrecking Crew!

A monochromatic scene, almost completely white, of snow falling on a river.  There is a line of trees about halfway up the photo, and some underbrush on the bottom of the photo.

This year in the northeastern section of what we colloquially refer to as “The United States,” Winter ain’t no joke.

December was much colder than normal. We had a brief January thaw that fools me into thinking Winter is almost over and Spring is almost here
EVERY
SINGLE
YEAR
this one included! Silly Wendo!


Honestly, though, I enjoy being tricked by January Thaw. It’s like I’m taking a practice-run at being exceedingly excited by Springtime.


Anyway, this weekend it’s been Devilishly cold (wait, does that even make sense?!) and today it’s snowing like a mo-fo (also probably non-sensical when you ponder it for a moment).


Here’s what it looked like during perhaps my favorite time of day during the Winter: The Blue Hour.

This is a photograph of a window taken from inside a building.  The room's walls are pink, the window frame is white, and the scene outside is tinged blue due to it being dusk.  It's snowing outside and a maple tree is visible through the window.  There is a can of colored pencils and a box of tissues in the foreground of the photo.  Pink, floral curtains are to the left of the window.  There is a blue 7" record hanging in the window.
January 25, 5pm, Bellows Falls Yacht Club

I especially like to photograph it from one of the many pink rooms in the Bellows Falls Yacht Club, as you can see.

Honestly, prior to purchasing and moving in to the Yacht Club, I got really grumpy about Winter every year… right around the second week in November. Haha, that’s not even Winter!
But, living here where it’s beautiful all the time has changed my tune quite a bit.
What has also changed is that my work schedule is way more flexible now, and I can often work from home, so I don’t really ever have to go outside when the weather is poor.

(WARNING: awesome segue coming!)

I also don’t have to go outside to do my radio show.

Thanks to the internet and stuff, I can host my weekly radio show, Wreck Your Own Adventure on WFMU’s Give the Drummer Radio, right from the Bellows Falls Yacht Club, aka “my house.”
That’s where I’ll be tomorrow morning, in fact, from 9am-noon (WFMU-Time), just like every week.

Tune in here: https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/160625

I promised you a bonus show and I was not kidding.
Tune in AGAIN this Wednesday from 5-7pm (WFMU-Time) when I fill in for Ridgewood Radio.

I haven’t created the show’s page yet, but you can find it here when the time comes: https://wfmu.org/playlists/WY

See you on the radio!
