To Shovel or to Swim

There are two ways to spend the upcoming week, only one of which involves spending hours shovelling the snow off your driveway only to see a city snow plow drive down your street to leave a three-foot wall of pre-concrete ice slurry on the end of your beautiful work.  By morning the wall will have frozen to the solidity of case-hardened steel and nothing but a military laser will melt it.  You will not be able to drive your car again until Spring.

OR

You could do what Lotho and his family have just done and that's to take a sea cruise about the Caribbean.  I don't know where exactly they will be going but I have heard some buzz about Mayan pyramids.  I know for sure they are going to Cozumel as I've been egging his kids on to go swimming with dolphins.

Maybe you're thinking 'lucky guy' as you read this but he would be first to tell you that luck had nothing to do with it.  Or it's just dumb luck if you ignore the thirty years they spent setting up to do stuff like this.  So now it's time to bring on the dolphins.

Bon voyage to Lotho and his family!
