Snow

Well we got the first real snowfall of the season today. Back when I was a kid, I would have been thrilled.  I, who was a homebody even then, would have been out playing in it. Throwing snowballs, making snowmen, and just generally having fun.

Today, I'm more into cursing snow. Now I have to shovel it and drive in it, neither of which are any fun. Unlike as a kid, I don't get the day off just because we had snow. They never cancel my work no matter how much it snows.

About the only thing I like about snow these days is how happy it makes my dog, Quinn. He's a Siberian Husky, so this is really his type of weather. He loves rolling around in snow, and digging in snow, and just generally being in snow. It's good that at least one of us is happy about today.

Winter 2012

So far, I like this winter; it's January, and it's 60° outside. This is Pennsylvania. I t should be below freezing all day like it was a couple of days ago. I am very glad that it's war. This house is old and it's always cold in here when it's cold outside. I hate being cold.

Now that I have said how much I like this weather, I'm sure I've jinxed it, and it will drop to below zero and stay there until April. I should really use these jinxing powers for good by saying that I like not having much money and thereby jinxing things so I'll win the lottery. Of course, saying that I've probably jinxed something unjinxes it, so now I won't win the lottery, but it will stay warm, unless saying that I've unjinxed something rejinxes it, in which case it will be cold and I will be rich, unless that reunjixes it...

I think I'd better stop now. I've babbled enough.
