This Winter has been the longest, Long Underwear Winter of my adult life. Not every Winter is a Long Underwear Winter, but this one sure as hell has been. For those who are not familiar with the term I offer the following:
To qualify as a Long Underwear Winter (LUW), a person needs to wear long underwear:
- six of the seven days of the week;
- and every night in bed;
- for what depressingly seems like forever;
- and it has to be winter.
This Winter has been so stubbornly cold, I’ve been wearing long johns 24/7. At work, play, awake and sleeping. I am even wearing long underwear as I write this blog. During most Winters, I would only wear long-johns when I was skiing or snow blowing. This time around I’ve been forced, months ago I might note, to buy several more pairs to work into the rotation. And that includes my trusty Union Suit.
On the Brightside, Spring is a few weeks off and eventually I will be freed from the surly bonds of all this long underwear wearing.
Depending on how hot it gets this July and August, I’m getting prepared to blog about the No Underwear Summer (NUS).
