the watch of time

For those of us coping with life in cold & snowy climes, especially after a snowmageddon…

• Cut holes in the ice and hunt for lost coins
• Learn to hibernate
• Hide things where you can find them so you’re constantly getting warm looking
• Plant snowballs, melt more snow to water them, and see if they grow
• Build a gauntlet of snowmen (looking unisex, of course) to ward off unwelcome
  soliciting
• Have a dry skin conditioning contest with family and friends
• Pretend the wind really is whistling Dixie
• Eat spicy foods throughout the day, enjoy the sensation of heat (and stock up on bathroom tissue)
• Translate the collected works of Shakespeare into modern English (while extending the effort into the ides of March)
• Start a society of cold & flu medication collectors
