Frozen Body Parts



Sitting in my living room this morning, enjoying a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee, I looked out the window at field beyond my patio to see the winter wonderland that it has become. The snow on the ground and clinging to the trees creates a beauty that mere words cannot express. As I gaze at the tapestry that has appeared yesterday and overnight, I cannot help but be glad I’m not going out in that crap. It looks cold!

People say that it is fun to play in the snow. People are also brain damaged from the frostbite of the brain I have discussed in my blog about Dancing in the Snow. One person even called me a wuss for not wanting to go have a snowball fight. Please! If you’re gonna call me a wuss, I can give you a list of things that I am wussy about, but not snow. There is a difference between being a “wuss” and being “smart enough to stay away from things that will cause you to freeze off important body parts.” Or maybe I’m the only one who really likes his pinky toe and does not want to see it turning blue falling off.

There is even a rumor circulating that there are people who let their noses look like Rudolph leading Santa on a foggy Christmas Eve. If you want to be outside letting your proboscis become a popsicle that is your insane choice. I will be inside, sipping a cup of Irish coffee with whipped cream and a few chocolate sprinkles. Any time you can drink before noon and it is socially acceptable should be done.

There is something else on my body that comes in pair that cannot stand the cold either. Yeah, my ears just can’t handle the freezing temperatures. (What did you think I was writing about? Get your mind out of the gutter.) There is a theory that I just made up about the effects of cold temperatures causing the eardrum to feel like one of Tommy Lee’s drum sets after a Crue concert. It’s not good. When I get stuck outside in the cold for more than the eight seconds required to dash to my car, I find that my hearing suffers as a result. Or that is the excuse I use when friends call me to go sledding.

Don’t you think it is time that we all do the responsible thing by staying inside with the antifreeze of our choice and enjoy the sights and sounds of the winter wonderla… OMG! Did you see the snow bunny that just passed my window? Forget all that! Where’s my snowsuit?
