Spent the last couple of days down at my son's Beachhouse on the ocean.

Awoke yesterday to snow, wind and a roaring ocean, so I got dressed,
grabbed
a cup of coffee and wandered down to the beach, intending to experience
and
enjoy nature and all that stuff.

Stood near the crashing waves for a couple of minutes, snow being driven
into my face, body starting to shiver uncontrollably in a futile attempt
to
stay warm and suddenly the older, more mature part of my brain kicked in
with a message:

"What are you, friggin' nuts?"

Packed up the truck, went back to my nice, warm house in Duxbury and
haven't
stepped outside since.
What a pansy.

~~ says me who spent exactly 3 minutes outside in the cold before
returning to the warm, wood heated house ~~

It was nippy walking the dog at Point Pleasant Park this morning. That stiff
breeze off the ocean sure cools you down
I was glad I had dug out and wore my winter coat.

Did your wife make you dress the dog, too?
