new year's eve thought #1

I bought myself a cashmere beanie for christmas.  The truth is, it's only 30% cashmere.  The rest is wool.  And although it's true—and those who know me the closest can attest to this, those who have been with me through the thick of it—that I harbor no resentments towards the wool,  I can't help but wonder what it would be like to have all of the cashmere.

Some times at nights, in the crisp winter air, I think about dry cleaning; some evenings, I'll sit among the gentle breeze, and upon a belly full of port, I'm wont to reminisce about those times when my head was cold.
