We’ve had more snow this week than all of last winter, we spent much of the day shoveling and scraping. It’s finally winding down, but we got a good workout today. My friends are calling me up asking me not to shovel snow, but I have no problem shoveling snow, I did it for much of the day.

Maria is a great and determined – and fast – shoveler, I have to scramble to shovel before she is done. Tonight, I’m holed up making pizza and sorting through the photographs I took. Maria’s photo of me wandering around in the snow in my bathrobe went viral. I have to admit is is an unusual photograph.

I can’t imagine letting anyone take that photo of me a few years ago. Maria has definitely changed my perspective on life and my acceptance of my strange self.

More later.
