I’m seriously concerned about my wife. I’m afraid she is
losing it. Now, that might be nothing new, after all, she did marry me, so her
judgment may have never been that sound. But in this specific instance I’m
referring to the frigid weather that most of the country is currently
experiencing. She was quite happy at the prospect of an early winter and
looking forward to the snow. Actually excited at the thought. Giddy almost.
As for me, I could most certainly do without the cold and
the snow. Or, winter in general for that matter. Why? Because I don’t like the
cold. What’s wrong with summer?
With the early Artic blast, my wife and I have already had a
couple of heated discussions regarding the weather this year. These discussions
typically leave me out in the cold—or inside in the cold since our house is
usually not the warmest place on Earth. As I’ve mentioned before, we have to be
the only house in the state that routinely runs the air conditioner in
December! And it’s not like we live in Hawaii or Florida. You can see why I’m
concerned about her state of mind.
While writing this post, I took a gander at the thermometer
and it is a whopping five degrees outside. I know, five degrees isn’t really
all that cold compared to the temperature elsewhere. But where I live, it’s
cold. (My wife’s opinion not withstanding).
Yes, I have felt colder temperatures. Much colder. Many
times. Forty below and worse, and I’m not talking wind-chill. However, that
little fact doesn’t make the five degrees feel any warmer. It is still cold.
Too cold.
I am aware that technically, there is no such thing as cold.
Cold is merely the absence of heat. Scientifically that is true, but no one has
ever explained that to my toes. They are simply cold. As is the rest of me. I
could definitely use a little global warming right now.
But my wife, she loves it. She
claims it’s due to being form the Northland. I’m afraid the real reason is her
brain cells are slowly disappearing. I mean what else could explain why, as a
grown woman, she wants to be outside playing in the snow—and wondering why I
have no desire to join her. The reason is simple; because I’m COLD!
