DEVIATING FROM THE NORM

Everyone's taking off for warmer climates and who can blame them when our high Sunday was 0?  During the day we were in the negatives -8 mid morning and it looks like Monday is starting off just as cold.  Winter has arrived.

The Snowbirds (and I am speaking people) with second homes have long since departed for either Florida/Arizona. Other smart folks are departing during January for south of the border to Central/South America or across the seas to Southeast Asia. 

SOooooo when I asked Natureman if we could deviate from our usual Friday night Sabbath dinner at home and instead go to the Legion for a fish fry and some music, (a friend had invited us to come listen to him play), there was some some hesitation.  I quipped,  "I'm only asking to go to the Legion, not South America." We both started laughing. Natureman  made an exception and off we went.

I must admit Natureman 'loves him' some fried fish. Dinner would wait a bit as we had some popular 70's music to listen to by Dillon, Gordon Lightfoot, Eric Clapton, etc... played for us by the dynamic duo "Contraband" in the Legion's bar area.

After listening to most of a set, we headed for the dining hall and ordered our yummy dinners.

Not quite the warmth of heading South for the winter but what can beat the warmth of an evening of fried food, music and visiting? Sometimes a little deviation from the norm is not all bad.
