10 Good Things About Winter

It's important to remember that winter is not all bad. There are plenty of good things about a long, cold, endless winter. Lots of things!

1. The New London Winter Film Festival 

. . . to which we will eagerly return, after we have seen the next batch of movies . . .


2. Sunburn Index = 0 

. . . thus temporarily protecting our rapidly aging skin from further immediate harm.

 Emphasis on temorarily.


3. No bugs

Although, frankly, some bugs are really cool.


4. No crowds at the beach

6. The Winter Olympics



Especially that oh-so-fabulous double twizzle.


7. Dramatic Photography

8. You never have to feel guilty about spending too much time in bars and restaurants.

Oh, I know! If you forget to bring your garbage out to the curb for weekly collection, you don't have to worry!
