My computer tells me the current temperature outside is negative nine degrees. I feel operating a university in these conditions is a form of torture. To try and forget how numb my face feels right now, I’ve been watching this dog “swimming” (flopping around on the floor). It reminds me of swimming at the beach in the middle of summer, when temperatures are enjoyable and you don’t have to wear six layers of clothes to go outside. Only six more months!
Dog goes "swimming;" I'm reminded of summer
