February News

I can’t remember that last time our board has been so silent for such a long period of time!

Here it is February, and the last items there were to report occurred back in November. I guess that no news is good news. Well, except for the homowners affected by the recent water problems. There are now two fresh patches in one of the most recently repaved courts.

Speaking of stuff lacking, can you recall a New Jersey winter that’s been this free of snow? I can’t. This just has to be some kind of a record. I’m not complaining. But what does it mean? Is it a statistical fluke or something more?

There’s a relatively new word, coined by Glenn Albrecht about 5 years ago: solastalgia. According to Glenn, “solastalgia describes the pain experienced when the place a person lives is under assault and destruction, a loss of a sense of belonging to a particular place and a sense of desolation about its disappearance.” It’s sort of like being homesick without leaving home, when the place changes out from under you. Do you miss the snow?
