Too Cold to Ski
It's too cold to ski.
Amazing. You never thought you'd hear me say it, but it's true. It's too cold to ski.
Oh, not around here. Here in my office it's a toasty 70 degrees (actually too warm to ski). And outside the window it's balmy at 20. But where I'll be this weekend it's supposed to be -3, and that's too cold to ski.
It's a shame. The snow is good, and the skies are blue. Even my wife said that she'd like to take the skis with us on what was supposed to be a romantic 2-day getaway. What a woman! But at -3, I don't want to do anything but stay in bed with the blankets up to my ears. I hope the condo has a bed-side hot chocolate dispenser.
But even if it doesn't, that's OK (though not as good). Cause I've got plenty of blessings without the skis and without the b.s.h.c.d. (which is now on my Christmas list, Hon). I have a car that will (probably) get me there, good scenery, enough money to buy a few meals, and a pretty wife to share it all with. By any measure that's not a bad way to spend a weekend.
But Chip or Eddy, if you can send me some of that Arizona heat I'd appreciate it.
