Yesterday I slept in a tad as I didn't have to work, I don't do that on Saturdays anymore. It's liberating. I looked out at my CRV pony and notice white stuff up to the wheel wells of my favorite ride. I decided right there and then that I was going to be shoveling the driveway. I started at about 8:30 am, and finished at about 2:30 in the afternoon. The shoveling had been completed and the sweat dripped down my nose. I have a pretty big driveway and there was a lot of snow.
I shovel with one of those really big scoop things. I push the snow around and pile it pretty high at the sides of the driveway. After I'm done the drive looks like a frozen white canyon. The only thing missing is an echo.
They say that shoveling snow at a certain age can be hazardous to your health. I say, "Get off your lazy keesters and do something every now and then and shoveling will just be cross training." I enjoy shoveling snow. It gets me out in the fresh air to commune with my driveway.
Occasionally a nosey neighbor or two will wander over and ask, "What cha doin?"
At which point I reply, "..." heh heh heh. You fill in the blank.
So, Yesterday, or rather Saturday, I shoveled snow. I had a good time. I listened to classic rock and jammed my ear buds. All was good in the world. Today I realize, "Yes there are shoulders up there." 80)
Peace and Balance,
John
