You should talk about the Most".---tcgcwellc

A Snowbird's rationale Diary of a New England Snow ShovelerDecember 8: 6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season andthe wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watchingthe huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow! Dec. 9-Shoveled for the first time in years, I felt like a boy again.This afternoon thesnowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway,so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.December 12: The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment.My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas.No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor. December 14: Snow, lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away,but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks.The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. December 15: 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Boughtsnow tires for the wife's car and two extra shovels.Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricitygoes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.December 16: Ice storm this morning. Fell on my buttinski driveway putting down salt. Hurt like heck. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.December 17: Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere.Electricity was off for five hours. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.December 20: Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the darn stufflast night. More shoveling. Took all day. Darn snowplow came by twice.Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey.I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower, and they're out.I think they're lying.Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I thinkhe's lying.
December 22: Bob was right about a white Christmas, because 13 more inchesof the white stuff fell today. I went out to shovel, and then I had to pee. By the time I got undressed, and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel! Tried to hire Bob, who has a plow on his truck, for the rest ofthe winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the guy is lying.
December 23: Only 2" of snow today, and it warmed up to "0". The wifewanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did, but I think she's lying. December 24: 6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel.Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the sonofagun who drives that snowplow, I'll drag him through the snow by his #%&* and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes and throws snow all over everywhere I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the darn snowplow.
December 25: Merry Christmas. 20 more inches of the ^&%$ slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a freaking idiot. If I have to watch"It's a Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.
December 26: Still snowing. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was allHER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.
December 27: Temperature dropped to -30, and the pipes froze. Plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him; he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.
December 28: Warmed up to above -50. Still snowed in.The Btich is driving me crazy!!!!! December 29: 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it couldcave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30: Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver again. He is nowsuing me for a million $ not for only the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up where the sun don't shine. The wife went home to her mother.
December 31: I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling. January 7: Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the Bed?

Start the year off right. Easy ways to
"Today in Time"
One day at a time the ole' folks say, will get one through life in simplicity.
They had no idea we would have technology of today, when they said life should be simple.
Today is beautiful for those souls who met it upon the rise of new hope. Yesterday became Today as
Today will become Tomorrow, was the equation of the ole' folks.
When stuck in the mud, a mind and
body can lose hope. Weary thoughts of all that cannot be altered regardless. Regrets are not affordale.
A single Decision made by any Single Individual Independently, affects many Always.
Every mind should consider patiently any decisions regarding their own tomorrow, and beyond.
Haste can lead to sorrows of origin from guilt to self confidence. Trails of tears are
seen in foot steps, years beyond
a decision. Wasted time still pondering why.
Today is Brand New! Do Something Good Today if it just a simple smile!
