Before I begin the column I would like to get something out of my system. I hate winter. There I've said it, if it helped I'd scream it and throw a tantrum but we all know what happens in Manitoba in January so I'll just have to buck up and try to ignore the cold as much as possible. When I was younger, actually I was caretaker until a few years ago, I'd spend most of the winter at the local skating ring but since that's no longer an option, the season seems to stretch out forever. The month of December is always filled with concerts and entertaining but January and February drag on and on, especially when dealing with such frigid temperatures.
I was so looking forward to heading south for sun and sand but it appears that I'll have to wait until next winter. In the meantime, puzzling will be a huge time consumer and an exercise program has begun.
There's not much news to report but I'm waiting for at least three birth announcements. I don't know what happened nine months ago but there's going to be a bit of a baby boom at the end of January.
The temperatures are supposed to get to the single digits this week and I've heard that many guys are going ice fishing. We have on package of fish in the freezer form summer, so fresh fish would certainly be a good thing. Dave always checks the badger activity near the yunge Wolfe's farm and he reports that the badger has been digging a lot of new holes. This means that we're in for a definite weather switch-a-roo; the badger is never wrong.
