Ode to a Hedgehog

The hedgehog, such a charming creature
With adorable little facial features
Button eyes and rubber nose
Quite a picture does he pose

Such a distinguished little gent
Trying to anoint a scent
Spikes like armor this funny clown
Bristling ball at slightest sound

Snow Sucks.

I don’t have an interesting snow incident story. When I was 2 they say we had 21 inches and they put me in it and I sank. But of course, that would only be interesting if I had photos… which I don’t… Um… one year we had a layer of ice and then a layer of snow and then ice and then I think another small layer of snow. My aunt broke her ankle in three places and we were out of school for like a week. We sledded down the big hill on old backs to a chair… leather I think… that was awesome. Of course, then later my dad had to put a barbed wire fence right down the middle of that hill. We tried sledding it after that… that didn’t work too well.
You know you are seriously discrimating against people who live in Hawaii with this, right? ;-)

Boy, what an intricate array of categories you have… better to control my posts with, my dear, I’m sure.

Snow: The Bad and the Ugly

I grew up in the lowlands, and there was no snow, but rain. When I moved to Cologne, there still was no snow, but yet a lot of rain. No snow experiences for me, I’m sorry. However, I decided to post something completly senseless instead :-). Gerd

Ten frozen digits

Hey!

Just dropping by and wondering if you wear mittens or gloves? I, myself, prefer gloves and have had them on all day. That in itself makes typing very difficult. Why am I wearing gloves at the keyboard? Because the furnace went out in my office building last night. It was -5° outside when I went into work. It was less than 45° in my office when I got to work. My office themometer only goes as low as 45°. I’m sure it was much colder because the pens wouldn’t write. Even though the fixer dudes did their wonders and had the furnace up and running a half hour later, my fingers still haven’t warmed up.
