개구리도 움츠려야 뛴다 => frog-also crouch-[“only when”] jump-[UNMARKED PRES.] => “A frog has to crouch first to jump.” A Korean proverb that I found inscribed on a tourist-souvenir tshirt that I bought before leaving Korea.
I ran errands today. It was blustery with cobalt clouds scudding across the sky. Intermittent splutters of rain, 12 C. Weather like this could convince me I’d rather stay in Minnesota than return to Korea or elsewhere — I love Minnesota’s weather so much. People think that’s crazy, but it’s really, truly true.
I had dinner with my stepson Jeffrey, who’s moving from St Cloud to Twin Cities because of a promotion with his work. I enjoyed my time with him — he’s turned out a strong, decent sort of human being, and I’m glad.
