Snow, actually.

I put my car in reverse and shoot all the way out to the road, navigating the path between the ice mountains in one clean swoop, much like an Olympic skier.  I had a really good run yesterday too, but today, I can picture myself on the podium.

I am high-fiving myself for my Olympic caliber driving-in-reverse skill when Mr. Kamikaze gestures toward the glaciers at the mouth of the driveway.

"I widened it for you," he says. "Did you think you were getting better?"

yeah, I did.

Awww...he shoveled the driveway for you. Mine did too.

And, of course, I drive better than he does too. Just like you.

He could have made a bobsled run in less time. Or an ice sculpture. Something useful.

All a matter of perspective. Literally. Meanwhile, down here in the unfrozen world, chocolates must suffice.
