Winter Daze

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I haven’t posted in a while. Rather than list off a litany of lame excuses (why should you care?), I’ll just share one activity that’s taking up some time for me these days:

We’ve already set a new record for snowfall this year. And being of contrarian nature, I choose not to own a snow blower since shoveling is amongst the only exercise I get. (Sure beats sitting at a desk all day every day.)

But this is getting out of hand. By my estimates, I’ve shoveled around 200 cubic yards of snow this winter. That would fill 13 dump trucks, or 5,000 shovel scoops. The neighbor kids have taken to using our snow mounds for sledding.

Only another month or so to go. Next year I’m getting a snow blower.
