It's so hard to leave the house when it's so warm and comfy inside and outside might look like Texas but it's 'freakin' windy and cold and most folks have automatic car starters so that when they plant their behinds on the car seat it's alrady warm and comfortable. It's hard to return to a cold city from warm climate. The good thing for winter enthusiasts is that you can skate and ski and 'snow-shake your booty' as much as you please in this town. Regardless, the streets are not empty in this weather. People get out and walk around and shop and visit restaurants and tourist attractions and theatres like it's the first of july. Yeah, they don't give up. Of course, some are home more often and some do go away for a little while to bask in sandy beaches or just tune out infront of the Tv but case cera cera, it's the winter season and this is a clastrophobic reminder that snow is all around and there is nothing to do but go on with our daily lives and make the best of it. Funny thing, the winter creeps up on us like an accident waiting to happen.

I'll leave it at that and don't forget to dress warmer then usually cause the cold get's under the skin that' s why /i carry the American Express card...hehe
