\nFrozen<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

Greetings from a plane headed towards the East coast for vacation time and to have “fun”. I’m a bit apprehensive though because it’s supposed to be freezing out there. Brrrrr!<\/em> I never got used to the cold. I’d rather sweat like a penguin in Africa than freeze like an iguana in Virginia.<\/p>\n

My first experience with snow was traumatic. I had just started college in GWU and my big brother invited me to join him for the holidays and visit his girlfriend in upstate New York. Although I was covered from head to toe except for my eyes I was still frozen inside. Imagine a Popsicle wearing a coat and that would be me.<\/p>\n

The girlfriend’s family treated us as part of the clan. Then one of the gals got this great idea to go cross country sledding. I never knew there was even a term for this winter torture. “It’s easy<\/em>,” she said. “Just slide one foot after the other<\/em>.” You kidding me? After my 10th slide<\/em>, my thigh muscles seemed to be sliding down my ankles. While the girls were giggling and having so much fun frolicking in the wintry wonderland I was struggling to keep up. But the macho man in me would not accept defeat. So I endured the pain, the cold, the damp puddle inside my shoes. After the ordeal, everybody went for the hot cocoa waiting in the kitchen. I went for the soft bed in my room.<\/p>\n

Since that day, I have never been friends with frozen water. I will face my demons in a few hours and I know I’m gonna die<\/em>. I will be meeting my college friends and I will be meeting my son and his New York family. I’m praying for a miracle that the warmth of people will overcome the cold of winter.<\/p>\n

Oh the things we do for our loved ones … and the things we do for fun<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

TGIF people!<\/p>\n

Friday Bike Ride<\/span><\/h1>\n

Contributed by Don of Kelowna, B.C.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I went to the liquor store Friday afternoon on my bicycle, bought a bottle of whiskey and put it in the bicycle basket.<\/p>\n

\"Friday<\/p>\n

As I was about to leave, I thought to myself that if I fell off the bicycle, the bottle would break.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Friday<\/p>\n

So I drank all the whiskey before I cycled home.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be a very good decision …<\/p>\n

\"Friday<\/p>\n

… because I fell off my bicycle seven times on the way home.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So you’re enjoying your meal at the mall. Suddenly, you feel a strange sensation. Someone’s staring at you! What do you do?<\/p>\n

This is a good video to understand body language.<\/p>\n
