| AT THE CORNER OF OUR DRIVEWAY |
An overnight and morning snowfall dumped about a foot of fluffy cold snow on us. Windy conditions and 19F temps found me busy outside once again on the end of my snow shovel, shoveling and shoveling and shoveling. It sure knocks the stuffings out of me, but the exercise is welcome, and I need that. Spent nearly an hour outside and then came in for some porridge and a sit-down coffee before heading back outside again. I was encouraged by a few sun splashes here and there, brightening up things for a short few minutes. Spring can't come soon enough for this guy!! At the time of publishing this tonight it is still storming like totally nuts and at times I can't even see Monica's house across the road!!!!:((

| I AM SURE GETTING MY EXERCISE THIS WINTER, SHOVELLING THE DRIVEWAY |

I can't remember the last time I had Chinese food and I think it goes back further than a few weeks, months, or years. Decades would probably apply here. On a whim, while in Goderich on Sunday, to pick up a few groceries, Woodsy and I decided to pick up some Chinese food on our way home. After Walmart, we slipped up the street to the China Wok restaurant and grabbed ourselves a 'Dinner For Four to go. We weren't long in scurrying home with our big paper bag of yummy smelling goodies. Four Egg Rolls, Sesame Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein, Beef with Mushrooms, Chicken Fried Rice, and Four Fortune Cookies. We thoroughly enjoyed it and Lorraine fixed up a plate for our good neighbor, Monica. For lunch today, it was a repeat of left over Chinese food. I don't think I'll wait decades for my next Chinese food splurge. |

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A doctor of psychology was doing his normal morning rounds, and he entered a patient's room to find his patient sitting on the floor, sawing at a piece of wood with the side of his hand. Meanwhile, another patient was in the room, hanging from the ceiling by his feet. The doctor asked his patient what he was doing, sitting on the floor. The patient replied in an irritated fashion, "Can't you see I'm sawing this piece of wood in half?" The doctor inquired, "And what is the fellow hanging from the ceiling doing?" "Oh. He's my friend, but he's a little crazy. He thinks he's a light bulb."The doctor asks, "If he' s your friend, don't you think you should get him down from there before he hurts himself?" "What? And work in the dark?"

A man and his wife are dining at a table in a plush restaurant, and the husband keeps staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sits alone at a nearby table. The wife asks, "Do you know her?" "Yes," sighs the husband, "she's my ex-girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up seven years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since." "My God!" says the wife. "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

A man was wheeling himself frantically down the hall of the hospital in his wheelchair, just before his operation. A nurse stopped him and asked, "What's the matter?" He said, "I heard the nurse say, 'It's a very simple operation, don't worry, I'm sure it will be all right.'" "She was just trying to comfort you. What's so frightening about that?" "She wasn't talking to me. She was talking to the doctor!"
