Snowy Days And Shovels
Mother Nature must have heard me when I vowed I wasn't going to spend all winter complaining about, well, winter. Because it sure seems like she's given some of us a bit of respite this season all the way around. Sure, we've had a cold spell or two, but for the most part we haven't … Continue reading Snowy Days And Shovels
The Dreaded Ice Beast
I know I should probably quit with the kvetching and the moaning and complaining about our current wintery follies. And by follies, of course, I don’t mean the ridiculous (as opposed to embarrassing and out-and-out revolting) state of the Sochi Winter Olympics. No, I’m referring to the constant reminder of how I’m not in grade … Continue reading The Dreaded Ice Beast
Frosty Friday is Fabulous
Two hours ago, my backyard looked like this. Also, this. I assure you it’s under several more inches of fluffy cold stuff by now.

Pud'n *Well, also because last night Mother Nature saw fit to drop as much as an inch (AN INCH!) of snow on us here in Cincinnati after raining all … Continue reading Today, a haiku, because tomorrow is Groundhog Day*
My strange fixation on demanding wintery weather explained
Just in case you don’t get why I’ve been moaning, whining, and complaining all month about the overly warm, non-wintery weather, I give you three easy-to-understand reasons why I've been pining for the holiday lead-in days to have a little chill. Reason #1: Reason #2: Reason #3: Smiles like those can’t be faked, people. You … Continue reading My strange fixation on demanding wintery weather explained
Postcards From the White Apocalypse
This morning, boys and girls, your friendly, neighborhood Puddin woke up and was thrilled to find that the Mayans, despite all the doubts and rhetoric, nailed it. What? Oh, no, clearly all that “end of the world” business was 100% pure, unadulterated bunk from the word “Go!”. Or whatever the word “Go” is in ancient … Continue reading Postcards From the White Apocalypse
