One Christmas in the early 70's, I received a dazzling Huffy bicycle that continues to rank as one of my favorite presents of all time. This speed demon had a purple metallic-flake frame with shiny chrome fenders, ape hanger handle bars, and a special edition banana seat. I couldn't wait to get outside to ride that beast! Only one problem; that Christmas day there was so much snow and ice covering the landscape that it was impossible to ride. For seven straight days I woke up, looked out the window and wondered if this would be the day, and for seven straight days the answer was NO! I was so freakin' frustrated! Fast forward some 30 years… Today I find myself dealing with that same frustration all over again.I have been unable to use any of my nifty stuff. For seven days I have awakened, looked out the window and wondered if today would be the day, and for seven straight days the answer has been NO! My frustration is accumulating like the 3 foot snow drift outside my window. So what's a guy to do? How should I deal with all of this pent up frustration? Perhaps I should…
My wife suggested I gear up, go to the garage and close all the doors, then start my bike and pretend I am riding for a half hour or how ever long it takes! :) Any other ideas? |
