This Winter has been the longest, Long Underwear Winter<\/em> of my adult life. Not every Winter\u00a0is a Long Underwear Winter<\/em>, but this one sure as hell has been.\u00a0For those who are not familiar with the term I offer the following:<\/p>\n

    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\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

    On the Brightside, Spring is a few\u00a0 weeks off and eventually I will be freed from the surly bonds of all this long\u00a0underwear wearing.<\/p>\n

    Depending on how hot it gets this July and August, I’m getting prepared to blog about the No Underwear Summer<\/em> (NUS).<\/p>\n
