12 steps for a perfect snow day:
Stay in your PJs for as long as you can.
Fill the home with the aroma of pot roast…
…and make meatballs for another day. (Or rather, benefit from the fact that your wife is doing those things.)
Play outside with the children in your life.
Be sure to leave the bobhouse on solid ground if the lake’s not fully frozen yet, even in mid-January. (I’m actually not an ice fisherman—this is their father’s bobhouse.)
If you must, spend some time catching up on work. (But not as much as I spent this 12th.)
Take your 4-wheel drive vehicle on your favorite road…
…to your favorite place…
…and sit in the snow and think awhile.
Return to the pot roast waiting in your cozy home.
Reminisce about the old days…
…and try not to let your addiction to NetFlix’s streaming 24 keep you from going to bed with a good book.
