No Jacket Required
Now I understand what made Herr Liechtenstein take off his shirt – the $#%&ing; weather. Today we have crystal clear blue skies and temperatures in the 60s. Flowers are in bloom everywhere you look. All the windows in my apartment are open, and the heat is off. This would be a perfect day… if it were the middle of the summer, rather than the middle of February. Children all over Switzerland are off of school for ski vacation, since now is supposed to be the best skiing. What will they do instead of ski? Practice their yodeling? And what about me? How am I ever supposed to advance beyond the blue slopes if all the red slopes are covered with more grass than snow? Pity me.
