It's the first official day of spring, and I'll be celebrating it later this morning by shoveling snow. I couldn't be happier...

Yes, looking out my window this morning, we got a healthy dumping of the white stuff overnight, and it continues to fall, even now. It looks downright springy...for Siberia!!

I suppose it could be worse. What with global warming, it could be sunny, warm, and one might see unsightly palm trees swaying back and forth, in a gentle tropical trade wind. My neighbor could be out mowing his lawn in a Speed-o, and I'd be snagging a few fresh oranges from our backyard orchard.

Ok, so what the hell is so bad about that scenario?????

I guess I'll just have to make the best of the snowfall. This will provide us with complimentary entertainment for our ride into downtown this morning. Nothing showcases the driving skills of average Albertans like bad roads!!

And, I can continue to chisel up my pecs with the assistance of my snow shovel, clearing the sidewalk and driveway. It's like a free gym membership!!

If this weather keeps up, I'll shortly make Brad Pitt look like Jim Belushi, from a physical fitness standpoint, at least. Yessir, I am becoming as fit as a Russian lumberjack!!

Well, one more cup of coffee, then I'd better start getting ready. Need to feed the dogsled team...

Chow for now!!
