white, cold and annoying
Took Henry to go sledding today. It's dumping snow.
Got him all bundled up in his snowpants, heavy coat, hat, gloves, snow boots. Think: the kid in "The Christmas Story".
Got myself bundled up at some point as well.
Drove our rear-wheel drive vehicle through the barely-plowed streets of Boulder (they won't plow the streets here, but they'll spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to relocate prairie-dog colonies).
Went down the hill at the park once, I look down at Henry, hoping to see him smiling, and he has this look on his face that is completely indescribable, but seemed to say "Why are you doing this to me?"
It was plainly obvious that he wasn't into sledding at all, at least not yet, so we got in the car and slipped and slided our way on home.

This may support the assertion that you can take a kid out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the kid
Keep trying. I think we need more data points for a statistically significant sample.
hmmm...sounds like a good reason to move back to Austin! Come home soon!
OK, you got me - I'll take the "Damn Yankee" side of this equation . . .you should have taken him out and let him experience it. It only takes once . . . ;-)
