Thread: "The Turn"
-
08-23-2016, 09:49 AM #451
Back in the Midwest the Turn is typically heralded by several days of rain in late August. Hemingway wrote a story called "Three Day Rain" in which a young man living on Walloon Lake in the upper LP of Michigan breaks up with his girlfriend during such a rain. I read the story during a 3 day rain at Walloon Lake, where I was teaching sailing for the summer and where I had just broken up with my girlfriend. (Walloon Lake is where Hemingway's family had a cottage; it is located near Lake Charlevoix at the 5th metacarpal head.)

Started to shave my balls so the quick wind doesn't cause my sack to hike up when I'm resting.

Felt it a month ago, but it's back now, and with some permanence. Cool walk to work, overcast skies, last summer plans, hints of a cool storm forecast for high on Rainier.... It's almost time for the early autumn romps on sunny granite and dunite with red heather all about. When the dark and windy storms of October make themselves known, the Turn will be complete. So stoked for the change.
The best seasons of the year are just around the corner. May we all have joyful seasons shared with family and friends.
