Seeing as how it didn't work out last time, maybe it will this time.
Last month, as you may recall, I took a day off to do a couple of things, among them hoping to cross-country ski for the first time all winter. And, as you may recall, I ended up running in shorts—in the rain—instead.
Have I mentioned it's been a weird winter up here this year?
Well, I'm going to take next Friday off and try to do it all over again. The original plan was for us to get a lot of snow today, and provide me a base with which to play with my cross-country skis and/or snowshoes. However, here in the city we received only two or three inches instead of the 12 in the forecast. There wasn't even enough to cancel school here in Marquette. Or at least there wasn't enough to close schools in Marquette until TV-6 accidentally announced classes were cancelled and they had to shut down because of that (Oops). Now we're left with downright cold temperatures the next week, and there goes my first stated reason for taking next Friday off.
Some day this winter I might be able to ski or snowshoe in the city of Marquette. Someday.
I'm sure I'll find something to do next Friday. After all, I did last month when I didn't get to ski and/or snowshoe. I'm not even gonna let the extra work I have to do to take the day off bother me. After all, I did enjoy my three-day weekend last month. I'm sure I'll enjoy it this month. And who knows—maybe one of these months I might even be able to bump it up to a four day weekend or, dare I say, even a five day weekend.
THAT would be a miracle. Almost as much as me being able to cross-country ski at least once this winter!
On that note, have yourself a great weekend. Enjoy (hopefully) watching Tom Brady getting pole-axed into the ground over and over Sunday night. To my favorite youngest niece in the whole world...Syd, have a great birthday today. And to my favorite father in the whole world...Chicky-Poo, YOU have a great birthday Sunday. Stay out of trouble, too!
