20 Degrees And Another 2 Whole Months of Winter Left

It's 20 degrees F here...and, you know, something nice about winter is that you can stash refrigerator-dependent items outside in the snow, which makes the actual refrigerator less crowded, and is also just sort of fun. Anyway, we had cheeseburgers for supper tonight. And while I stood by the grill, in my pea coat & snowboots, flipping burgers, our young milkwhite coed neighbors were gy-rating & posing in bras and panties, (Lowrider-style!) for their boyfriends to JPEG. And, naturally, Jay-Z was blasting. And no, I'm not kidding. This actually happened. I called Janelle out to witness. We stood there on our back porch like Ma & Pa Kettle while they shrieked with abandon and yawned out over the frosty hoods of cars in the parking lot across our mutual alley. It was 8 P.M. and they were already trashed.

And I dunno. You might think: Oh snap! Hot young cornfed coeds in skimpy lingerie! But, no. Sadly, this wasn't that. Or maybe it was. But if it was, why was it so dumb-looking and generally sans Eros? A few reasons, it turns out: Because the Jon-Dog isn't 19 anymore. And real Eros is missing from about 98% of what passes for sexy these days. And they're all young. Just kids. And really, despite what any of us might expect, at a scene like this, all you can do is sort of glance over, shake yr head, giggle, & imagine the head colds that they're gonna have tomorrow. This is winter, though. It's been known to make people a little stir crazy...

Wow! Grilling in 20-degree weather? I humbly bow down to you! Our grill only gets fired up when the temp is over 75 degrees outside. After reading your post, we shouldn't let a little chillin' keep us from grillin'. :-)
