sometimes you just gotta' row
the weather forecaster reported another a snowstorm on the way.
around here you wouldn’t notice.
life has been like that lately.
yes, time to move on.

"Crossing at a ford means, for example, crossing the sea at a strait, or crossing over a hundred miles of broad sea at a crossing place. I believe this 'crossing at a ford' occurs often in a man's lifetime. It means setting sail even though your friends stay in harbour, knowing the route, knowing the soundness of your ship and the favour of the day. When all the conditions are met, and there is perhaps a favourable wind, or a tailwind, then set sail. If the wind changes within a few miles of your destination, you must row across the remaining distance without sail."
Miyamoto Musashi, 1645
