I remember when I was a kid (in the dim past when dinosaurs roamed the land) and loved as much snow as possible to fuel snow forts, snow ball fights, sledding, etc. Now, I interact with snow to shovel the driveway – actually, not too bad as our neighborhood provides free snow plowing for our driveways (to the edge of our house) which leaves very little to deal with (just the snow which ends up under our awning where the car is housed). So all in all, I get a little shoveling and, I admit, it is nostalgic to the days when I was younger and could shovel prodigious amounts of snow and not seize up after the shoveling is done. Oh well, our cat is amused as he likes to look out the window at me in the cold shoveling snow. It also helps that my wife, Jeanne, and I are retired, so we do not have to drive if conditions are too snowy. I toyed with the idea of making a snow man, but, I think I would rather be inside drinking hot coffee and relaxing in out warn, snug home.
