Way back then, when my sister and I made this magnificent snowman (with the help of a college student who rented a room in our basement), snow was the best thing about winter.<\/p>\n<p>Snow meant a day off from school and from Mom\u2019s eagle eye. Back in those days, teachers had to go to school on snow days, so we had eight hours of free reign in front of the television. Dad was our willing conspirator in TV gluttony, joining our worship of <em>Captain Kangaroo, I Love Lucy<\/em> reruns,<em> Password<\/em>, and <em>Concentration<\/em>, interrupting the frenzy just long enough to catch the market reports on the noon news broadcast. All the talk of pork bellies and hog futures was nauseating, but quickly forgotten when the Dating Game came on.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty years later, snow\u2019s the worst thing about winter, not counting the cold, the dark, ice, mittens, snow boots, coats, and hats. But I\u2019m not counting them, so pretend I didn\u2019t say anything. Snow\u2019s really, really the worst thing during a week like this one, with four speaking engagements, which means I have to be on the road. Or decide not to travel, which means an event has to be cancelled, which means disappointing people. And I hate disappointing people, which is why snow is my least favorite thing about winter.<\/p>\n<p>Which means this week will be either an adventure in driving or a series of disappointed people. So far, I\u2019m ahead of the snow because I drove to Independence, which isn\u2019t supposed to get as much snow as back home, a day early. We\u2019ll see how long it takes for Old Man Winter to get ahead of me.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, to be five again, loving snow, watching TV with Dad, playing outside with my sister, building the best snowman ever. Oh, to make everyone happy. Oh, to feel completely safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, I\u2019m amazed by how much my perspective has changed since childhood.
