Shoveling, Plowing and Ice Chipping

I was reminded by a friend in Florida today that I haven't written a new blog since Feb 3.  Time really flies in the middle winter months, especially THIS winter, when day after day, I don the boots and work gloves and hit the sidewalks, roofs, driveways and stairs that are my home and my office.  No longer do I have the callouses of a seasoned veteran on the tennis court, instead, I boast the sore muscles and tired hands of one that has been battling one of the heaviest winters in recent history here in Telluride.  While visitors (and certainly locals, alike) have joyfully accepted the heavy poundings we have taken, I for one, have grown tired of this epic, white winter, and look forward to more of the sunny, warm days that lie ahead.  When local roads feel like tunnels, my driveway has no more room for piled snow, and my home's roof sheds blocks of ice as big as old school television sets, it's time to start the countdown for Spring Break!  Sure, the views from my rooftop are absolutely phenomenal and the thrill of roping in and testing the strength and positioning of my trusty climbing gear fulfills my adrenaline rush needs, but enough is enough for this guy.  Bring on Summer!!
