SNOW!!!!!!!!

OK, now that I have your attention from the subject of this message… Hello. How are you? This may be one of the few times a year when the question “How ‘bout that weather?” actually merits a response. So – how ‘bout that weather? With an impending snowstorm (#6 in the series, for those of you keeping track at home) making way tonight, you’re probably all sitting there thinking:

A. Not again! How am I going to get around?
B. Again! Now I don’t have to go to work!
C. Who is this random guy emailing me on Facebook?
D. All of the above

Well I’m here to tell you – you’re all wrong!!!! Just kidding. I’m actually here to report, against my better judgment, that there are plenty of things to do besides drinking. I know – counter-intuitive from a guy who runs a designated driver service. But with this crap outside, there isn’t much else you can do. So for all of you out there with cabin fever, I am offering my list of things to do besides going out drinking. For the sake of argument, we’ll lump drugs into this category too. First – things that you should NOT do:

- Go up on your roof and attempt to pour warm buckets of water to melt the snow/ice (DANI!!!!)
- Sled ride to the China Buffet King - because you somehow have to get home from there with a belly full of whatever it is they’re serving up
- Drink and drive (Pear plug!)

Things you CAN do:

- Cook – yes, that stainless steel box in your kitchen actually does more than hold the teapot
- Go bowling – if there isn’t a bowling alley by your house, go fishing in your own aquarium. If you don’t have an aquarium, go outside with a broom and knock those icicles off of your patio
- De-shell a 4 pound bag of pistachios – see my Facebook page – I did this. This can also include picking out only your favorite colors from a bag of Skittles or M&M’s – very rewarding in the end
- Play board games – Gentlemen – I challenge you to find a woman who doesn’t own AT LEAST Scene-It DVD edition, Tribond, Fact or Crap, or Cranium. Learn to play these games!
- Learn some magic tricks – so that you can be that douche bag at the next party doing magic tricks
- Make a chronological list of all of your past “romantic expeditions” – this will most certainly get you into trouble
- Memorize an entire movie, or just watch Will Smith in "Seven Pounds" and cry your eyes out in the end when Woody Harrelson has his eyes
- Play “Rock Band” until you break the drumsticks
- Beat your business partner’s ass at gin rummy for the 30th time
- Write a blog – because it can’t be much worse than mine

Can I PLEASE see you all this weekend????
