fat albert     It’s time this snow goes away. If it doesn’t, I could well end up being one of those folks who grows so large they have to be removed from the home via a forklift. What is it about snow that causes us to empty the shelves of supermarkets? And then to consume everything we just stocked up on. One of my perennial New Year’s Resolution is always to lose weight. As is my pattern, I was dropping weight fairly consistently in January. I was even paring away that extra added layer of blubber I had added in the December snowfall. Then boom, we get hit with these back to back storms and all the weight I had lost is back on.

     I guess the reason I pack it on in weather like this is the same reason I am compelled to venture out when the weather is at its worst. A man over nature type thing. After all, I wouldn’t want be to stuck a home with an insufficient supply of chocolate chip cookies.
