Winter is still in full blast in Canada and the U.S. Cities are digging out of snow buried cars. This winter is brutal.
Do I miss Toronto's snow? Do I miss the morning slow and treacherous drive in icy roads? Do I miss heavy coats, winter boots, gloved hands, turtle necked sweaters, ear muffs and sometimes, ski masks? Do I miss defogging windshields, refilling windshield washers, and waiting for the car to warm up?
Weird, but Yes.
I miss the heavy blast of winter wind on my face, and my brown leather jacket. I miss the heater's first glow of warmth as you enter from the outside cold. I miss the hot cup of cocoa with marshmallows on it. I miss the sight of kids playing on a snow-filled yard. I miss burying my body under thick blankets and comforter.
Even as a grown-up, I would sometimes doodle on dead-cold, icy-fogged window glass some cartoon characters, and my favorite is Casper the Friendly Ghost. That's because he is easy to draw, and the words "boo hoo" come out real funny.
