I already am not liking this shoveling business.....

Life is short. And I really don't feel like hastening my demise by trying to move all of this snow. I did some. The cars are clear and the walkway is clear, but the sidewalks are covered by a LOT of snow. I used to have a blower. Why did I sell that with the old house anyway?

For many of you, a collective chuckle is probably being shared as you laugh at my struggles today. For this part of the USA, this is a rare occurrence, as we usually receive no more than six inches of snow ever.
I should be happy that we don't live in New England or Upstate NY where it is not entirely uncommon to have clear one's own roof after a blizzard.

But it is Sunday, and there are so many other things that I would rather be doing right now........like sitting in a cozy little bar meeting a new friend or two.

Or maybe just staying inside and spending the afternoon playing with my sexy wife. After all, the weather outside is frightful.

A snowy day....

I heard on one of the news or weather casts that 50 million Americans are impacted by today's storm. They added that number represents approximately one in every six of us. Well I am one of those. And while I am absolutely delighted by this meteorological event, I am bothered by the real need to go outside and shovel. That I do dread. And no longer owning a snow blower, I find myself troubled by the thought of going outside and starting this chore. After all, the weather is frightful.
Perhaps I will just settle further into my winter slumber, have a glass of some funny looking dark beverage and gaze upon the fireplace. Yes, live is good in this part of the country, if only for today.
