Brooklyn Banya

Big snow fall. Seems pretty normal for a winter storm. No apologist for global warming, but it's normal to have a winter storm, right? Shovel long driveway. Arms get tired. In a good way. Clear blue sky. Cook nice food. Cruise through my To Do list. Visit with neighbors. Get invitation to Brooklyn Banya, where I was planning to invite people the following day. Take a walk. Come home. Cut oranges and pack up refreshing drinks. Walk to Banya with friends. Enter the other world. Steam room. Dry sauna. Wet sauna. Hot tub (not so hot actually) and cool pool. Soak soak, sit sit, sweat sweat, drink drink. Rub salt and honey all over skin (in the steam room.) Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Drink more. Get dressed up warm. Walk home. Go to sleep early. Sleep 10 hours.
