Boston is Funny...

It’s one thirty in the morning and I just finished shoveling.

I have a few people I’d like to thank.

To my neighbor, who feels comfortable enough to tell me how old she is, and how much pain she is in. Of course I will shovel your stairs, walkway and driveway. I’m a young and able man! Speaking of which, where the fuck are all your grandchildren that, as you have informed me on many occasions, are doing very, very well? Never mind, I’m sure they are busy running their companies/saving the world etc. Thank you old lady, for allowing me to shovel for you. And thank you for your constructive criticism, I don’t feel like I do everything half assed as you put it, but you did inspire me to try harder. I may have inadvertently slipped a disc in my back - but no pain, no gain! Thanks again.

Thank you to the snow plowers around the city. Special shout out to the guy who did my street. You did an amazing job pushing all the snow from your buddy’s driveway, really. The fact that you pushed it all in the vicinity of my wife’s car was very cool my friend! I’ll admit her car is a bit of a beater - an eyesore really, so I can totally agree that it was called for that you completely buried it. I had a heck of a time shoveling it out, but the reward was ten - fold. I felt like I was in a real snow fort when I had dug a path to get to the car to begin shoveling it out. I was just like Nanu of the North!

I’d like to thank the snow plower once again for waiting until I was completely done, to plow the street again. He’s a crafty one! I was inside and ready for bed. Well, I guess you got me. You got me pretty good. I think I learned a valuable lesson - don’t start shoveling until well after midnight unless you want to start all over again… Thank you Mr. snow plower…

Wait… Yup, he got me again… Sorry folks I’ve got to get the gear back on he did it again. Man, I’m going to lose ten pounds before I hit the pillow tonight. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
