It has been an old-fashioned winter. Long and cold. Actually, though, I liked the winters of my childhood better. In those days, we had winter pleasures designed for the season. Hauling out the sleds was a big deal. Enjoying snowball fights and building a snowman were seasonal delights for young and old alike. I spent most of this winter just trying to stay warm. I guess I’m still fuming over the fact that to take care of my basic daily needs I have to get the car out and risk life and limb to get where I need to be. Fun? Well, forget that.
