Winter

Looks like we’re going to have a lot of snow this winter. Got nailed with over a foot last week, 5-8 inches today and a blizzard with now 14-20 inches predicted for tomorrow (and maybe more on Wednesday). Been awhile since we’ve been hit with this much snow (well, memory’s not working great on this – last year was relatively snowless, anyway). I guess that I’m ready for another big winter- it’s just snow, after all.

The problem is that I’m not sure how much longer the old body will be able to handle winter. I made the switch over to a snow blower a few years back, but there’s still a pretty good amount of manual shoveling that needs to be done, and while I’m ok when doing the work, it’s taking longer for my body to snap back afterwards. It’s like I’m starting to feel older – anything but that! My back is getting creakier and creakier – I’ve managed to avoid what the surgeon said was inevitable when my disk slipped (he predicted that I’d slip my disk in my 40’s) that I’d need surgery , but so far so good. Let’s hope that my back can manage to hold out a few more years. Meanwhile, let it snow.

Let’s snuggle up and listen to some music while we watch the storm outside (winter looks prettier with snow, don’t you think?). Today’s podcast has the New Pornographers, Darryl Hall & Sharon Jones, Al Green, Elton John, Lightships, the Church, Chuck Berry, Big Star, John Lennon, Traveling Wilburys, Suzanne Vega, Neko Case, and Rilo Kiley.
