I Confess: I'm Getting Old [Fashioned]

We hadn't had a good snowstorm since the winter of 2008. That's when Palomino rang us up in the middle of the night. "Let's go play!" he declared.

5-Star merely turned on his side, and resumed his sweet dreaming.

Not I!

I ran out with the only downhill snow equipment I had, and met Palomino at the top of Main Street hill.

The next day Main Street was closed. But I'm sure it wasn't because of the snow; it was because the police couldn't keep the sledders away, so they might as well join them!

Fast forward three years, and this is what you get...

A little old lady with no more sense of adventure, no drive to defy authority, only the contentment of making snow angels, and staring at the falling snow and eating it.
