Hold macroni! 20 years old! I really am starting to feel old. I was used to being one of the youngest in the work place. Now days it seems there are a ton of people younger then I even some higher up managers. It is wierd to think of myself as being old but I am starting to feel that way. Atleast I am still on of the youngest out on the paper route 
. I guess it wont be that way forever though because as time goes on you will get older. I wonder if my wife feels the same way… I think she is one of the youngest at the bank still. It really hits you hard though when your boss is younger then you. I know it shouldnt but it is just strange. I kinda feel bad for the younger managers anyways. It has to be much harder to earn the respect that they desire. With bryan leaving his teens that is just WOW.
You remember the other day i wrote a very short post about how I love snow. Well I hate ice. The last 2 days have been hell around here. They dont salt or sand any residential streets in whatcom county so my route is just a big ice skating wrink. Good thing I have decent tires but then again even the best tires dont help you much on the ice. It just means the route is a bit slower. About 1 hour slower to be exact. With another 3 – 6 inches of snow falling tonight we are sure to have a lot of ice for the next 3 -5 days untill we get back above freezing. Which our high as not gone above freezing since saturday. The cold snap should be over on sunday and we will be looking at a high temp of 40! Nice and toasty warm. I can live with 40. But when you are outside and its about 16 with a wind chill of -10 that kinda hurts. Its funny how much slower you move when you start to get cold. Yes I do bundle up to deal with it but you still feel the bite. I have since purchased gloves for when we unload the truck since I feel I got a bit of frost bite on sunday and that really effected my dealing. Every flick of a card was painful. I have once again got used to the pain only to make my hands stronger. When people has me why I dont use moistorizer on them when they are cracking in any possible place they can crack I tell them I just want strong tough hands. Working man hands. No point being all wimpy about it.
Still I cant belive that Bryan is 20! He will be done with school in a couple more years and starting his professional carreer. He is on track for a good start. Way to go buddy!

our weather forecast calls for more snow sunday & still cold for few days, at this rate it will be a white xmas
day all good if you can make one person laugh I guess.
They don’t clear residential streets in vancouver either, we don’t usually get much snow for long so…. my back lane is snow on ice & front street too in parts, I have already swept this dry snow off the steps so if it gets wetter won’t be as much to take off later, one neighbour came by & laughed at me, out in robe etc…doing steps
Bry 20, time does gallop eh? It is one thing to keep manly hands, but bad cracking could let infections start so consider some moisturizing, before bed, let it work while u sleep
later, nan r oxoxoxoxoxoxo
