Folks, I don't know what
I was thinking. I shouldn't have grabbed her ass like that. Clearly
I exercised extremely bad judgement. I could have sworn she was
flirting with me.
Last week it was unseasonably
warm. Really unseasonably warm. It was 18 degrees centigrade. In
January. In Canada. For most, that's pretty inconceivable. I, however,
live along the eastern slops of the Rocky Mountains. While the rest
of you jokers suffer and toil through six months of unbearably frozen
arctic winters, I'm treated to regular respites in the form of Chinooks.
They're a meteorological phenomenon in which air pours over the
top of a mountain range. It tumbles and rolls across itself, accelerating
down the slopes. Friction works its magic and warms the air up.
By the time it hits me, it's more like a spring breeze than the
frozen gale it started off as.
I recommend it.
Though those of us living
here are used to these little treats, 18 degrees was a little out
of the ordinary. It caused some problems. It kicked up an early
bout of spring fever at exactly a point when nobody was ready for
it.
| The
entire city was in heat, and I'd be damned if I was going to
miss it. |
The warm winds blew gently
across our necks. Jackets came off. Shirts were unbuttoned. Snow
melted from the shoulders of our city. The streets grew moist. The
air was filled with the thick, sloppy, and not entirely unpleasant
aroma of nature's juices. People - normally limp and flaccid from
the dark, post-festive drudgery of January - stood up, filled with
energy, blood pumping through them. How many more of sexual metaphors
do you bastards need? The entire city was in heat, and I'd be damned
if I was going to miss it.
I threw on a pair of
shorts and a baggy shirt (to conceal the remaining Festive Spirit
that continued to shake like a bowlful of jelly - outside of December,
that's just not cool). I grabbed a pair of sunglasses, and headed
to the park to go for a run. I was gonna ogle me some boobies.
And ogle I did. The pathways
were jam-packed full of gorgeous women eager to flash tender bits
of winter-white skin at the sun.
I criss-crossed the park.
I covered every inch of every path, twice. I wasn't going to let
a single little chicky get past the leering, lecherous eyes I kept
safely hidden behind dark lenses.
"God bless sports bras",
I thought as I jogged.
"Pardon?" Said a young,
slightly offended looking lady in a sports bra. She was in the middle
of blessing a lucky bench with a very deep, very sexy leg stretch.
Ooops. I'd forgotten
to use my Inside Voice.
