Welp. Time for some B'roke.
Danny Johnson
We knew it was gonna get cold and there might be some snow. So far, so Texas. And then well, you know. I hope everyone is slowly but surely getting back to whatever version of reality we think of as “normal,” because that’s already somewhat Abby-normal.
We delayed things by a week, of course, since many of us didn’t have electricity, or internet, or both, and/or no water with which to make ourselves presentable for a premiere. So, the 3rd episode of Fresh Take (Baroque) premieres this Saturday (Feb 27) at 8pm CST and Night Music! Episode 3, with musical guests from Croatia and Karelia, premieres March 7. See the deets below!
And there were lovely scenes of unbothered snow and icicles hanging from places that are generally icicle-less, and it reminded me of one of my favorite songs:
I love winter in the springtime (when it's snowing!)
I love winter in the fall.
I love winter in the summer (when it's too hot to do anything at all)
I love winter, oh yes, I love winter (except when there's no heat at all.)

Stay safe and sane—see you (virtually) soon!
