Advantage of self-employment #594

3 February 2009

The ability to go outside and make a life-sized snow model of yourself whenever you please:

It was all over the media yesterday that the snowfall we’d had was the greatest the region had seen for 18 years. Wow, I thought to myself, I was just three years old back then … But hang on, what about that big snowfall when John and I made the enormous snowman together – when was that?

… Wait, how old am I?

Damn it, not 21.

I was gonna say! I thought you were a bit older than 21. ;-)

That is possibly the greatest life-size snow model of a person I’ve ever beheld. Excellent work.

Hah! For the longest time – maybe until I was 25 even – I kept thinking I was 17. I’d get all excited about being able to go see the new R-Rated film without parental supervision and then I’d remember, deflatedly, that I could also buy alcohol or rent a car by myself if I wanted. And the magic was gone – just like that.

Love the snowlady!

And I thought of you when I saw the news about snow in London. :)

We saw a story about the snow in Britian. I did not realize that snow was such an uncommon thing over there. Your snow lady is adorable!
