9 10 pm est   [ winter wonderland ]

The phrase finally means something to me. A winter wonderland. Yesterday was a absolutely glorious. The sun was shining in full force, but the air was crisp enough to keep the snow from melting.

My stroll from the upper East side to the New York public library at 41th and 5th took me along Central Park shrouded in snow. The scene was something out of a fairytale.

The chill gave lovers an excuse to snuggle closer as the walked arm in arm. My thoughts wouldn't stray from Matthew.

I made my way to the public library after putting a few miles under my feet. In the microfilm room, I was directed to the genealogy room - which I didn't know they had -- and after locating the desired microfilms, I learned that all of the readers were in uses. So I walked back across the library to the microfilm room, and ended up making the journey nearly a dozen times with little luck at finding what I was looking for. Sometimes one has to strike out... but the walk was worth it for the view.
