I used to like snow and cold. In the old days I didn’t even wear socks in the winter, just trotted right out to school in my pumps and pegged jeans. Cold meant school got closed and we could spend all day in the cozy Golden Dome watching junior college basketball tournaments, or at Brown Drug eating french fries with gravy. Snow was an innertube tied to a Bronco, taking turns getting swirled into snowdrifts on the side of the street. Snow was skiing – proper skiing with 100 inch bases and fat round ski-made moguls. Snow was spinning cookies in the parking lot at Kmart and going sledding with the church. Now I slog through slush in my beat up Fryes and scratchy wool socks to my dirty car or the dirty train depending on the day. Honesttogoodness I’m just so tired of being wintertired.
