Snow shoveling can be hazardous to your heart

I was going to measure snowfall but all I could find was a metal ruler with a cork backing which felt inappropriate for the task. (I spaced on all the tape measures we have tucked around.) I think we got 14 inches!

After morning meetings and a carb heavy lunch I felt fueled to tackle some shoveling. I cleared all the front sidewalks and legit came inside and thought I was on the verge of a cardiac event. After zooming with Heather afterward she asserted I should not, as a man over 50, go that hard again.

It’s apparently, a thing (Snow shoveling can be hazardous to your heart – American Heart Association).

Noted!

Anyway, all my work was covered by a thin layer of snow by late afternoon so I went out for a touch up, but kept it leisurely and carefree.

We so seldom get snow like this. It’s legit snow-from-the-70s snow.

I might make a snowman tomorrow, but I will take my sweet time — and it will be tiny.

Today’s song thanks to Bill Hader’s What’s In My Bag for Amoeba Records, that he asked to be on!
