More Snow

Yesterday we awoke to 6" of snow on the ground and a hard driving rain was falling from the sky. I decided not to plow the driveway until after the rain stopped because if the temperature fell, and the rain turned back to snow, we could be left with a thick coating of ice on the driveway that could remain till spring.

This morning, while we were walking the dog, B and I discussed my future as a grandfather. I am very comfortable with this topic as I look forward to helping my boys raise their kids. However, it is somewhat strange because in some ways I still feel like a 17 year old. The notion of someone calling me Grandpa seems almost comical.

I am determined to focus on improving my relationship with J. I really struggle to do this at home as I tend to be aloof and unforgiving. I need to work through this as I know he sees my attitude and it is not good for our relationship. In a couple of weeks we are heading up north for three days of snowmobiling. This will be a good opportunity to spend some quality time together.
