I have survived the great blizzard of 2016. The official stats say that there are 25.5 inches of snow in my backyard. I have cleaned off the driveway (3 times), the deck (3 times), and some of the roof. Time for random blizzard thoughts.
- On Friday Islands Magazine shared an article about the best snorkeling spots on the island of St. John. This mockery was obviously aimed at me. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the only one who they shared the article with. They said, “Hey everyone, blizzard coming, let’s remind Marc where he lives and that it’s not warm there. (evil laugh) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.” To top it off, the snorkeling spots they listed were not the best. St. John is my favorite place on earth. I know the good spots. Double mockery. Well played Islands Magazine. Well played.
- My dog loves the snow. I wonder if he would be a good sled dog. Maybe I could send him to sled dog academy. That would be the dog equivalent of military school. If he keeps staring at me while I eat, I just might do it.
- We told the kids that there would be no school on Monday. My oldest responded. “Yes,,,,,,. I’m going to go get a victory cookie.” I had no idea that victory cookies were a thing. I love it when I learn something new and useful. Finished the laundry,,,,, time for a victory cookie. Put the kids to bed,,,,,,, time for a victory cookie. Shoveled the driveway,,,,,,,, that’ll be three victory cookies. Victory cookies. Who knew?
- I didn’t win the Powerball lottery last week. But on the off chance that I had won, I made plans. It’s good to have plans. First, I would have given money to every person who takes time to read this blog. (tell your friends) Then, I would have hired a top notch director and movie making crew so I could remake Romancing The Stone, starring my wife and I. Third, I would have followed So You Think You Can Dance? to every audition city and tried to impress them with my dance style, which is best described as Axl Rose with Latin flair.
- The whole family was home for the blizzard. I love it when my wife is home. She’s good company. I like to do nice things for her when she’s around. I make her breakfast. I cover her when she falls asleep on the couch. I run a bath and light a candle,,,,,,,, and then I get in and relax while she watches the kids.
- I’m glad that the Broncos won the AFC championship, because I could not bear watching Tom Brady host Saturday Night Live again.
- At the end of the storm, I did the most sensible thing I could have done. I booked a trip to Florida.
