"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" adapted by Jeff Lyons.
PROJECT GOALS:
- To watch woods fill up with snow. - To do so without being observed. - To steal some time from other projects. - To stay mindful of other projects, however.
RISKS OF PROJECT:
- Could get caught by owner of woods. - Could cause disorientation in horse.
PROBABILITY OF DISCOVERY:
- Identity of owner not 100 percent sure. - Likeliest candidate lives in village. - Cannot rule out other owner or owners, or recent real estate sale. - Would be wise to be ready to start up sleigh.
STATUS OF HORSE:
- Likely disoriented by unplanned stoppage. - Additional reasons for disorientation: -- No farmhouse near -- Only woods and frozen lake nearby -- Darkest evening of the year -- Horse shows uneasiness by shaking bells.
STATUS OF WOODS:
-- Lovely; dark; deep -- Largely silent, though wind and snow flurries are slightly audible
LIMITATIONS ON PROJECT:
-- Strictly short-term -- Other commitments have priority -- Also need to sleep -- Commitments involve miles of travel. -- Travel has precedence over sleep.
