HE SAID: How do you cure those winter blues?

This has been the worst winter I’ve seen in this wimpy state of Connecticut, which solves its snow problems by throwing sand on it. Brilliant, I say. But seriously, how are we to cope with all this snow? I mean, it does have its ups and downs, for instance, with it freezing out, parties become overcrowded far too quickly as everyone presses for room inside.

And girls, it’s hard to tell which ones have been going to the gym, and which ones haven’t, as everyone wears their winter clothes. On the plus side though, when we’re lucky enough to catch the girls wearing something a little too revealing, it’s nice to see them smuggling tic tacs.

I’m looking forward to the mass amount of sexy clothes that will be worn by hundreds of FU chicks in the coming weeks, those perky tank tops, and those all too high short shorts.

Then there are those intimate moments that you have with the opposite sex. All dark in your bed, with three extra blankets because your housemates are too cheap to turn on the heat, or forgot to pay the bill. (Honestly though, let’s get this war in Iraq over, I’m sick of paying so much for gas and heating oil…no peace without justice). On the plus side, at least cause it’s so cold you can use the excuse more often.

Most of all, I miss drinking at the beach. Recently, while sitting on the beach on one of those teaser warm days, my friend came up too me and said, “DB, where’s your 30 pack?” Soon, very soon.

There is nothing better than throwing the football around, playing whiffle ball, and drinking out in the sun on the beach. Added to this are the numerous beach bunnies in their skimpy bathing suits, lying out on towels and rubbing themselves with oil and lotion. The warm weather better get here soon.

Snow days have been awesome, but as Favre would say, “what the crap?” The time has come and soon, and very soon, Spring will be here.

Other things: As sad as I am about the loss of the hockey team and the football team, it’s nice to see those guys out more often. Seniors, just a few weeks left, make them count.
